Good Points Derek,

Thats what you should do with pants ..Cast them Away

I've always wondered why teeagers go on about wanting to be individuals and all end up looking like clones of each other...Strange world.. ho hum :rolleyes:

I agree Derek, Its good to stand out of the crowd

Yes, Derek, why be one of the crowd. Not just the below knee castaway trousers, but also I really feel sorry for all the people who seem to have been glued into their skin tight jeans throughout the warm weather and apparently unable to escape into anything more comfortable.

here is one simple answer: safety in numbers. It is hard to be made fun of when you are wearing the same thing as everyone else. Sounds like a mild case of insecurity.

Methinks that by definition humans are tribal animals.

Bikers wave to each other as they pass, I think Corvette owners do the same thing, Marines greet each other, out here in the boonies of the west where we can drive a long time without seeing another car its instinctive to wave when we do pass someone going the other way.

Last week in Las Vegas when I ran across a kilted guy headed the other way, even though he was in a hurry, it seemed instinctive that we both stopped to shake hands before moving on.

Sadly, some of the "punk/goth look" kilted guys have been uninterested in sharing the bond of the kilt...guess maybe having this 61 year olde fossil also kilted steals some of their thunder.

The thread reminds me of a song from Reel Big Fish:

"It's not so bad, being trendy, everyone who looks like me is my friend..."

David,

Haven't you heard the old adage that:-

"Teenagers like to be different, as long as all their friends are different with them."
