It's taken me most of my life to come to terms with what a dumb concept purity really is. I guess I used to think of it as a kind of excellence (or maybe even the other way around), but no, it's just emptiness. The thing of it is that it's so damned enticing until you understand that, though, and being a desirable thing with no value makes it a pretty good feeling to be co-opted by all the usual suspects that want to co-opt our feelings for stupid reasons.
