It’s been around for ages, though, to be fair, the need to be part of the crowd. It’s purely tribe mentality, but it’s still a bit sad. Being part of the same hunter-gatherer party going to kill a mammoth or sabre-tooth tiger is one thing, but all having the same “I’m not a plastic bag” bag?
What would Darwin think?

It *sort of* reminds me of the brilliant harry enfield sketch from a while back, where one of a group of hip band members has an “INDIVIDUAL” tattoo, and when asked why he had it done, he replied “All my friends had one”.

Of course, we could be just fashion misfits, unable to fit in anywhere and, therefore, trying to justify why we *shouldn’t* be part of anywhere. Naah, don’t believe it! ;-)
