This is clearly written by someone who has not interacted much with real-world entrepreneurs. "Agreeable" is not the first word that comes to mind when I think of the entrepreneurs I've met. I'm not saying all entrepreneurs are cantankerous, but I would say they're more inclined to do things "their way."
I also think entrepreneurs are a lot more threatening to the status quo than previous youth-culture archetypes. If you are a recording executive who would you fear most:
1) a drugged out punk rocker who is pissed at the world and letting everyone know it
2) a hacker entrepreneur like Sean Parker.
I think history shows us who the establishment should be more fearful of.
Pretty sure the Beatles had a pretty big effect on society and the status quo. The power of art and music tends to be a second order effect: it inspires people.
Without the music of the 60's/70's, do you think Steve Jobs would have dropped acid, become a Zen Buddhist and built Apple's brand as a the challenger of the status quo?
Yes, entrepreneurs may be threatening to large companies, but they are not at all threatening to political leaders. Entrepreneurs are not youth culture, they're businessmen, they work within the capitalist system, not opposed to it or trying to change it, like previous youth cultures
