Peacocking: who does it and what do you do?

[Dizaster]

I was thinking about this the other day and paying attention to people while around town...

I know the theory of how wearing these type of jewelery type things makes you look like a sexually active person.. But I think it's more to do with that "tribe" thing, like, goth, emo, punk, preppy, etc etc.... Like, we I live in a small town where the main kind of tribe is punky rock sort of thing... Outside my town where their are a lot of ethnic people, rap and bling is really cool.... But in my town, chains, dark leather jewellery, lots of surf type jewellery, dark jeans, studded belts, tightish black shirts...
Anyway I forgot my point now....
Ummm, f'ck... I think what I was saying is I think that wearing that type of stuff is more to show that you are part of the "in" crowd... Like, you wouldn't dress like that unless you had FRIENDS who dress like that... It shows you are a part of a crew, and perhaps partly a leader of it... If you dress real plain, then your a part of the plain crowd..... If you go to the effort of putting cool shit on, then girls automatically asumed you are regularly hanging out with cool people....

I guess it all says the same thing, that you have value.... More value than the guy next to you who isn't wearing anything cool... And if you think about younger people, or rock bands or anything, the people who most exaggerate the look, tend to be the leaders or the people with most value...
