**Taylor Swift v Lana Del Rey: Shifting from Institutionalism to Anti-Institutionalism **
The paradigm has shifted from traditional left-right ideologies to a dichotomy of institutionalists versus anti-institutionalists. This shift is observed not only in tech and politics but also in culture. Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey exemplify this change, where Taylor, traditionally seen as conservative and institutionalist, is now perceived as left-leaning due to her alignment with major institutions like winning Grammy awards regularly. In contrast, Lana, viewed as anti-authority and a rebel, is constantly overlooked despite having the same producer as Taylor. This shift from valuing ideologies to being categorized based on acceptance or rejection of institutional norms is evident in various industries. It has created a scenario where innovators, regardless of their traditional ideological leanings, are united by their opposition to the status quo and bureaucracy, thus leading to unexpected alliances and societal realignments.
