@droucil can't say I disagree with you on that point.

The part which absolutely shocked (and disgusted) me was the point when one of the dandies pulled a pair of shoes out and commented that it took him two years to save for those shoes. He goes on to mention he could have purchased some land for the cost of those shoes, but he had to have his shoes.

Subcultures as a whole are never very logical. I don't necessarily agree with many I write about, but I do find it fascinating how far humans will go to find or create a tribe to fit in.
