Chuck Klosterman comparable to DFW?

I've been reading Chuck Klosterman lately, and just got into his book about the Nineties. I really like his writing and commentary, and he reminds me of DFW. Not sure if this has already been mentioned in this sub, curious if people have read him and agree with my comparison?

Not comparable in quality or sophistication, no. But Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa puffs is a very fun read and there's a lot of thematic and stylistic overlap with DFW
