What Next?
Once the fashion industry has been able to foist a new style on the teenager, 
the older generation tends to stigmatize it as a form of rebellion. What is
ignored is that the young consumers capitulate to what is originated from 
someone outside their group. The feelings of individuality and audacity that
the teenager gets from a new style of dress result from the propensity of 
their elders to disparage them. The actual situation is that the clothing 
fashion soon become accepted by all; there is nothing upsetting and revolutionary
about them. While people are becoming complacent about the "new", the clothing
industry is planning how to tantalize the teenager with next year's "fashion".
This arbitrary decision is guaranteed to foment consternation among adults
once again in the following year.
