I've always been mildly dismayed at an aspect of this conformity. The
"rebellious" youth has so often adopted modes that differ -- in a rejecting way
--
from their parents or their societal opposites, and I've always understood
that.
But the modes are so often exactly the same as everyone else in their gang.
I've sensed it hasn't always been merely a desire to stand by the gang -- it
was very often simply a lack of imagination. If it's true -- what you say
about figure sculpture in Europe -- I find that depressing.
