There was also a generational dynamic: The 19th century saw the rise of a founder generation, who pretty much defined bourgeoisie in Austria. This also gave rise to a variety of literary, artistic minded and intellectual salons, which provided in turn a chance for artists, literates, etc to shine. The next generation, the founders' offsprings growing up in this kind of environment, was naturally oriented towards these ideals, but, at the same time, with a need to revolt against this bourgeois environment of the salons of their mothers. If not artists and/or intellectuals in their own right, they provided for a solid landscape of eager and potent patrons. (Wittgenstein, who donated his share of the heritage of a major steal empire to a magazine, the Brenner, to be forwarded to artists of the choice of the editor, may serve as an example.) However, there was also a need to revolt against the last revolt, which had become the bourgeoisie's darling since. E.g., the Secession was revolting against a prior revolt, the Künstlerhaus. "Jung Wien" (young Vienna), a literary movement populated by the first generation of offsprings of the bourgeois salons, became soon the target of the next cohort of intellectuals like Karl Kraus, and so on. A dynamic, always enforced by – and in turn reinforcing – the genuine Viennese angst of anybody gaining recognition too easily.
