67 sucks

I think you're giving it too much attention by mentioning it at all, even in a negative way.

I remember life before high school and even, to an extent, during high school and into college. Although things became less memorably uniform as time passed.

It felt crucial to be "with the group" and "in the know" and "a bold rebel ... like everybody else." It manifested itself not just in dress, but in language, too. Everybody, for a time, was "groovy." Today, people are, like, you know, "concerned and, uhm, outraged." Or perhaps the more relaxed just say "67" a lot.

It's pretty natural and human to take silly things seriously when we think it's "what the cool kids do."

I'm sure a psychologist or even a biochemist could provide an enlightening explanation of the underlying causes of serious silliness.

Fortunately, most of us outgrow the urge and felt need to "you know, boldly not conform -- along with the countless other bold nonconformists."

Unfortunately, we don't ALL outgrow the urge. Indeed, the urge seems to have become more enduring and evident -- perhaps as the result of cynical planning -- or perhaps some butterfly simply flapped its wings just right, somewhere, to cause what we're seeing.

But we're seeing it, more and more, in politics. Notice its presence whenever angry and solemn people spout silliness and take it very seriously.
