We must be thinking of different popular cultures. I was thinking about pop culture in terms of the culture of the majority, which, if this story is any indication, is decidedly anti-mohawk. If mohawks were a force of popular culture then they'd be more, well, popular.


The superficial whims of popular culture that i referred to are the ones that set the arbitrary guidelines about what are and aren't acceptable styles and behaviors for the masses.
