Comment on The Counterculture Is Better in the Suburbs

Comments

I noticed that a lot at hacker conventions (CCC). You might think that the guys in simple black t-shirts are tolerant about clothes and don't judge people by their appearance.

I've never met any group more rigidly hierarchical and conformist than anarchists.

(For the record, everyone I ran into at CCC was actually super nice. Only met a couple of the I'm-more-punk-than-you crew.)

I have always wanted to attend a hackaton wearing a 3 piece suit and shoes so shiny that I could mirror myself in them, just to see if they really wouldn't judge me for it.

Of course I know the answer.

I've seen kids do this at hackthons. Good luck staying as natty by the end tho.

I think the OP and you are utilizing a different definition of "hacker", FYI. Think Summer Con.
