rampant popularity of the peace sign

Everybody here is familiar with the peace symbol. (duh)

All of a sudden, I am seeing it everywhere.
This is itself is not a bad thing. For people to believe in peace is wonderful! But it's popping up everywhere--in stores like Claire's and Hollister--and the people who are wearing it don't believe in peace.
The peace symbol is coming back into fashion (at least where I am it is) and people are only wearing to be "in" or "cool". All of these conformist, pro-government, anti-anything-different preps and jocks have it all over their clothes. So I ask them, "Do you believe that war and violence is okay?" I get answers like "Yeah, it is." or "Yeah, we need war." And yet they are wearing this symbol of peace! I don't get it!

 

Why do you care? Wear what you like, the fads will change, it's whether YOU change that matters. Anyway, I think it's fantastic that I can find so many peace signs these days. It makes updating my wardrobe easy peasy lemon squeezy.

 

I agree with you totally on that. I just hate it when my (our?) values are misrepresented.

 

I sometimes wear this:


But it doesn't mean I bake Jews.

 

For example, this shirt I got at Wal-Mart. But it's the most badass peace sign I've ever been able to afford.

 

lol, that is quite awesome

Hello,

I do not believe in peace, and therefore I find the sign to be a rather dumb, overused, commercial symbol.

Or maybe not for that reason, but still.
