I mention it (characters all sounding the same) as a pet peeve because I tend to see it as more a problem w/ writing than 'was I supposed to feel something here?' Not that I like passionless writing, but I think the latter is much more subjective, so I don't necessarily blame the writer if I don't 'feel something'. And I certainly don't expect to at every turn, which can be sensationalistic/overdramatized.
Wait, a polemic about hipsters? So it's anti-hipster? I'm confused.
Yeah, I don't know. You can probably write a good novel either way, but I think it does make a difference (at least in terms of realism or something).
