Beware that Dunning-Kruger

Usage of symbols doesn't necessarily besmirch the potential goodness of the individual. Many people have donned such symbols in confusion or out of a desire to 'belong'. Not everyone who uses a cell phone understands all of its ins and outs, nor do they care about such. They care about being part of the group who has cell phones too. Especially when those phones are advertised all over TV.

Punk movement?

Metalhead movement?

Death Metal movement?
