I agree. It depends on how you define choice doesn't it? If you start unpicking what drives consumerism (including outsider consumerism that finances the outer fringes of rock n roll) then there are few behaviours in modes of dress or whatever that are free of one kind of malignent influence or another. We are all slaves to our own self-image and like it or not some or all of that sense of self is driven by the media or the faith group you belong to or whatever. The idea that we are making entirely free choices where consumerism is involved is pretty absurd. Are a Playboy bunny t shirt or pole dancing classes any more "free choices" or any more empowering than wearing a burka? Seems to me it it's all the same shit at heart. I would be less than thrilled if any of my kids fell into either trap.
