 Cultural Creatives vs. Twilight of American Culture: A Review
Anderson is a psychologist and former anti-Vietnam war activist; Ray is the pollster whose pioneering article on what he dubbed the Cultural Creatives, first published in the Institute for Noetic Science’s glossy magazine in 1996, is often cited by political visionaries.

Morris Berman is a well-known cultural historian, and his recent book, The Twilight of American Culture (Norton, 205 pp., $24), is an almost perfect counterpoint to The Cultural Creatives.

A huge portion of the book is devoted to this subject, and includes many personal stories; the underlying purpose is to open the eyes of all cultural creatives (of either subgroup) who simply don’t yet realize their inclusion.

 Gene Expression: "Hard Seculars" vs. "Cultural Creatives"
I suspect that a large number of the people who would be characterized as part of the "Secular" coalition are the Cultural Creatives, in other words, the descendants of the 1960s counter-culture.
In the final analysis, I think "Cultural Creatives," or the broad spiritual majority of the "Secular Coalition," are a genuine cultural force with their own internal system of values and ways of interacting and speaking.
Here the "Cultural Creatives" are Rifkinesque and have a Romantic aversion to tampering with Nature, while "Hard Seculars" are strictly consequentialist.

 WorldChanging: Another World Is Here: The Greening of the Creative Class?
His argument -- that "cultural creatives" (an intentionally broad social-economic category) were most attracted to diverse, tolerant urban environments -- resonated with many, particularly those who were encompassed by his "creative class" definition.
His definition of cultural creatives includes professional categories other sociologists might otherwise omit, and it remains to be seen whether his assertions about the connection between creative workers and economic growth will hold true over the long run.
If one were to argue that a route to individual creative explosion is through the debasement of mass culture one might be closer to a truth, but not one we should model ourselves on.
