question(s) of the day

this is very brief, and i want to hear some thoughts on it, b/c im not sure i know the answer...

why is it that (generally all)band kids and swimteam kids are so strange? they have their own cults of alternate reality...but why?!

is it because they spend way too much time doing their respective activities, and therefore have no exposure to "normal" society, and therefore just develop their own (society, reality, babies)?

----update----

another question: okay, so we know a lot of black people are ostentatious. they love to live large...so is this some sort of subconscious self-granted reparations?
clearly there is something fueling this "competition" to have the most blingin-est house/ride/mouth around, but what is it?
