I see this as a form of conspicuous consumption, a status marker for viewing themselves above the lower orders."
Nicely put. Which is precisely why the pampered sons and daughters of millionaires are the ones most likely to demand everyone else share their fascination with alien cultures and other-worldly value systems that dismiss tradition and extol novelty and weirdness for weirdness' sake. And why we benighted middle-class types still go to church and take the time to know who our great-grandparents were.
+1 Yes, an excellent post.
