In a lengthy post entitled “Ethics†is advertising about western Buddhism and its relationship with socio-political tribes, David Chapman comes up with this gem:
In the ’60s and ’70s, hair length was a reliable badge. If you were a guy with long hair, you definitely liked tofu (or pretended to), and if you had a crew cut, you hated it (or were careful never to try it because that’s sissy food). This was highly efficient and a Good Thing. Then, in the ’80s, rural working-class heavy metal fans grew long hair, and that screwed everything up for everyone else.
Yes, blame metal for everything, won’t you?
