> Tech startup founder-programmers have replaced rock stars and professional athletes as the idolized figures of young males everywhere.

This is just a sign that you're trapped in the adult nerd bubble. Spend some time with the normals, and you'll see that mainstream culture in 2014 is no less vapid than it was in 2004, 1994, or 1984.




If you're going after net revenue, well then young tech startup founders are idols.

Millions and more millions of cash, more than your average rock band...


If we're going by average rock bands, we might as well go by average startups. Isn't it true that your average startup failed/will fail?
