Sounds like a macrocomplaint about microphenomena?<p><i>If you manage to endure the first dinner party dialog between members of the upper class</i><p>I think this is a little different; a dinner party presumably is full of people who want to listen to each other talk.  (And novels are generally more thoughtfully prepared than tweets.)<p>I don&#x27;t know if it&#x27;s a seismic shift, but anecdotally I can say that my microcomplaints around the dinner table don&#x27;t get likes like Kanye and Kim&#x27;s tweets do.<p>Edit: something about the fine line between comedy and whining.
