Get the Mass appeal mug.the current trend, where people buy clothes in order to be "different" like every one else. very annoying. instead of everyone wearing abercrombie to be cool, they are wear fake little punk or emo clothes from places like hot topic. signs of this terrible trend are super clean converses, band shirts when the wearer has never heard of the band, and anyone who thinks avril lavigne is punk. this trend is really screwing up life for those who might actually be individual, and arent that way just to be like everyone else.
girl all in abercrombie (to identical best friend): hey do you want to go to hot topic and get some of those striped leggings everyone is wearing? well look so individual.
friend: sure, wed be like the coolest people ever. so edgy. lets get an avril lavigne shirt too!
teens follow trend of mass produced individualism. dare to be different because youre friends are.

Get the mass bunk mug.A phenomenon in mob psychology where a large group spontaneously joins into a monolithic, like-minded alliance with a sole purpose. The alliance is neither deliberate nor planned, but results from the powerful human instinct to protect the community.
While traditional mob psychology focuses on how crowds become instantly disorderly and chaotic, mass formation theory demonstrates how crowds become instantly orderly and unified. The word "formation" is used to invoke the image of a flight formation of fighter jets: the jets move in perfect "formation" with each other, as if they are one.
Mass formations can be either positive or negative.
POSITIVE EXAMPLES -- A mob can spontaneously unite during a momentary crisis (fire, earthquake, etc) becoming a powerful force for combatting the crisis, and/or saving those imperiled by the crisis. Examples include a bucket brigade fighting a fire, or a human chain of people attempting to rescue someone who fell through thin ice.
NEGATIVE EXAMPLES -- A mob can join into a silent, angry wall of (temporarily) wordless and (temporarily) motionless hostility against a solitary individual. This community-wide anger can culminate with an entire village acting in a blind fury to punish, banish, or execute the offender.
Some Hollywood films included scenes with mass formations.
POSITIVE SCENES: "It's a Wonderful life," "The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming,"
NEGATIVE SCENES: "Home Alone," "Angels and Demons," "Game of Thrones."
