If the everyday is associated with grey, humble and imprecise elements of banality, then it could be seen as opposed to the capitalist social scene, whose image, constructed by the media, is colourful, optimistic and logical. It is possible to assert that the everyday is what is left over after rationalist thought has exhausted the world of meaning.
