The Hipster Effect, from Jeff Watson

 "The Hipster Effect: Why anti-conformists always end up looking the same"

People make a statement when they embrace individualism and oppose social mainstream, but still end up looking alike. Even with hundreds of styling choices, they still come out the same, with cookie cutter exactness. One would assume that this effect is present in the markets. How would one measure this?

A familiarity of this phenomenon might add value to any spec's operation. This is worth studying.
