Drew quite accurately mused: "I don't know if the two are related, but I spent about six years of my life(! which is about a third of it) alongsode the American variation of this culture on the Connecticut coast. From my observations they were generally spoiled kids (nothing wrong with that, mind you) whose fathers worked in New York while they went to posh boarding schools. Most of them in the early 90s were bored enough to develop strong links to hippie culture- but indeed, this subculture, over-priviliged hippies, was in itself a phenomenon. Kids with BMWs, Saabs and Land Rovers whose back window was coated in Allman Brothers stickers- Students at Philips Exeter academy doing mushrooms and discussing Kerouac in their spare time- kids who spent the better part of their youth following Phish around (they could afford to, why not?) and then disappeared into an Ivy League school only to reemerge years later with a haircut, a suit and an apprenticeship at Smith Barney." God, you just gotta love Milford eh? it's the infectious strain of Brideportitis..I had to go to some "Meet The New Neighbors" party down the street back in November..boy was that fun..these people's kids are totally as you described above..I wanted to go sink a couple yachts after that night, but they have those security cameras in the harbor now, and the cops are down the block..damn.
