These are all pretty different and distinct points, senpai. Some have to do with posturing, some have to do with concern about aesthetic and perception over actual substance, some have to do with a false sense of intellectual superiority, and some have to do with a lack of genuine identity. I guess the bookshelf one is a bit redundant but I was just trying to hammer in my point, you dig, senpai?
