Stuff We Love
I think it's funny that we "enlightened" types like to pride ourselves on not basing our identities around corporate branding or iconic products, but even subcultural, free-thinking communities have our versions of the stuff everybody has or the stuff everybody wants. Powerbook, Reload, Moleskine, Ikea, Chris King. I think it's more a matter of having similar aesthetic preferences and/or quality standards than trying to fit in through consumerism, and I don't think it's a bad thing - I kinda love uniformity, actually - but it's still interesting to notice, and maybe a reason to not judge suburban clone types too harshly. They just have a different uniform.
