Over the last few days i have been seeing a lot of what I call, and
there is probably another name for it, "Angry Young Man Syndrome". It
seems especially prevelant in the hacker society now, but I would guess
that this trend is somewhat trackable. I wonder if in the 80s the AYM
(angry young man) was the Heavy metal guy with chains and an "Im tougher
than you" attitude, and in the 70s I was a kid, so I dont really
remember aggression as a factor then so maybe some others can help.
Perhaps in the 50s it was the dragster making, fight picking guy?

at any rate, is the there a meme that leads to such behaviour? any
thoughts?
