[quote=Anonymous]Why do people have visceral reactions to how other people style themselves? I get that some things are class signifiers, but so what? So it means that this person was born with less money than me and as a result they hung out with different people and they thought different things were cool? Why would I spend a second of my life caring about this, other than to think that if I were born in their zip code I'd probably think the exact same things were cool? We're programmed to want to fit in with our tribe, after all. I think these over the top reactions are a giveaway of a person's insecurities (the judger, not the person they're judging). The judger is thinking, "OMG how embarrassing that this person is trying to look cool/attractive/successful and failing so miserably." But if you have a good grasp of how the interest in and meaning of body art varies across cultures, you'll just be interested intellectually in it, not worked up by it.[/quote]
