[QUOTE="ShadowSD:1129099"]I went to high school starting in 1993, I saw the change that year and how forced it was, watching a majority of preppie white kids being pressured because they saw their friends acting and talking a certain way so they did it too, and those who they emulated in the first place did it to begin with because of mass marketing that made THEM think everyone else was doing it. All along no one stopped to think for themselves for five seconds to think about how racist it was for a bunch of suburban white kids to imitate and caricature the mannerisms of a negative racial poverty stereotype. You're absolutely right that there shouldn't be boundaries of class or anything else binding anyone, but that certainly doesn't succeed if mass marketing is generating unlimited copies of negative class and race caricatures that we continue to perpetuate, and without the least bit of self-awareness about it. Think about that. [QUOTE="boxxy:1129094"]That they shouldn't be able to dress like and emulate the way their heroes/idols talk[/QUOTE] I consider Iron Maiden and Helloween and Stratovarius among some of the bands I've always really liked/admired, but am I going to swagger around permanently speaking in an exaggerated British or German or Finnish accent? No - because that would make me an ASS. When I went to see Iron Maiden some years back and Bruce said don't smoke weed everybody, even though I idolize Iron Maiden, I sparked up that second - because I can think FOR MYSELF. People are free to do anything - but are generally better off thinking for themselves and not being an ass, surely we can agree on that much.[/QUOTE]
