In this day and age, most of the kids of the future have been brainwashed to think that higher price = higher quality.  With that said, lots of kids resort to buying only from Hollister and Abercrombie because of its reputation and price.  With the Hollister and or Abercrombie symbol written across their chest, it makes them feel proud, part of the ‘it’ crowd.  What is so special about them? Truthfully? Nothing.

When I walk into Old Navy, I see jeans for $10.  When I walk into Abercrombie or Hollister, I see jeans that are $70.  See the difference? The BIG difference? Obviously, many of the teens who walk into both of these places resort to Abercrombie or Hollister, despite this big price range.  Does it make them any better?  Any richer?  Any cooler? No.  It may make them feel like all of those things, but, if everyone buys from there, in the long wrong, the cooler kids will be the kids who stand out, who aren’t wearing Abercrombie or Hollister.  Don’t get me wrong.  I do like those stores, but there are many more affordable and unique stores out there that I’d rather buy from.

One tank top from there is $12.  Anywhere else? Around only $7!  With that figure in mind, it should pursuade anyone not to buy from there.  But it doesn’t end.  Ever.  It almost makes me sad how under-mind-control today’s teens are.  Pier pressure must be hitting them hard if they can’t even see past the label.
