Lifestyle has consumed culture. For a magazine like TANK, long committed to “heavy duty culture”, or as we used to put it, “Elitism for All”, this represents a profound crisis. While some call for the return of cultural gatekeepers, it’s not clear what’s left to gatekeep. Lifestyle is everywhere and everything is lifestyle. In this issue of TANK we have sought to explore this strange new reality through the categories of the lifestyle magazine: beauty and wellness, house and home, tech and gadget, celebrity and entertainment. Forget about culture: find your bliss, embrace the journey – we’re here to help you live your best life.
