@plcoky7, thanks for taking the time to read the article and commenting. Th Subculture and Social Trends is a series I have been working on for a bit and this is the sixth installment in the series. I try to present the subculture in an objective almost documentary-style way to inform the reader, rather than editorializing a viewpoint to persuade the reader with a specific viewpoint. I have always been fascinated by what human beings will do to find social acceptance.

If you enjoyed the read, I would encourage you to check out some of the earlier installments on my blog and follow along for the future installments in the series.
