I don't understand how people can bitch about capitalism and consumerism (two separate things) and then buy so whole hardily into the system that they claim to oppose.
Assuming this society of kids live as you, why did they waste their time(presumably), and parents' money on a good education? This smacks of hypocrisy and rebellion on the surface, at minimum. I also imagine with a parental safety net playing hippie is easier.
