Hw #6 for 10/7

Please forgive my tardiness in posting this homework!!! I had thought that I had done so with the many others last Monday and Tuesday. Thank you for your understanding. Here is the prompt for e-journal #6:

Describe, with sensory detail where possible, a fashion trend that you have noticed and participated in during the past three or four years. Where did it begin (if you know), or where did you first begin to notice it? Who were the people to first wear this style? Does this particular fashion help identify a particular group? If so, who or what? Do you identify with them or it? Is there a music genre attached to this group; a set of beliefs; ideals; behaviors or rituals? Devote two paragraphs to this e-journal response, properly citing at least one quotation from Gladwell’s text to support your conclusions.
