This thread is to name as many different ways as we can think of, in which herd mentality is expressed.

Some things I was thinking of:

- Facebook
- Memes (especially the history of how many of them came into being)
- Certain fashions, for example fake/dyed hair and fake tan for females
- The cult of celebrity/obsession with celebrity

I'm a blond who dyes my hair red.
Guess I'm of a "herd" mentality. :roll:

That's not quite true, is it?
