And we were bullied for not having branded sneakers. Corporations have been doing their job very well for the past 80 years.

Yes, it wasn't exactly bullying but I remember a lot of peer pressure to have Nike shoes when I was about 12. All my friends had them but I had to settle for genuine imitation Nikes. I joked about it but I do remember feeling left out. Seems silly now of course.
