Title: Conformists
Post by: joywind on June 28, 2013, 07:51 pm
It used to be that everyone wore the same clothes and hairstyles, and had unique personalities and views. Now it's the other way round.

You see documentaries from the 1950s or 1960s and people are wearing quite similar clothes but expressing far more wide ranging opinions.

Lefties are wearing suits and ties but wearing those duffle coats with big buttons and rightwingers are dressed more sharply but the differences are small compared to the dumb costumes people wear now.

I strongly recommend checking out The Rebel Sell. Lots of counter-intuitive things to say about conformity and counter-culture.
