Afflicted Herd

a direct reference to the group of males that continually don so called "Affliction" genre T-Shirts. These shirts are known for their heavy price tag, sparkly, and tattoo like graphics. These shirts also have been deemed acceptable for any social situation no matter how distinguished; they allow males to be "stylish" without any internal creative input. These groups of males usually attempt to impress you with their incessant banter which usually contains UFC fighter name drops and the indisputable fact that they are in the midst of MMA training (despite their visible beer gut). Motivation: To impress the opposite gender with their overwhelmingly masculinity. This desire psychologically stems from significant insecurities. All members have been initiated via the herd mentality Nietzsche perceives this mentality as a form of subservience and a weakness among the common man, and that the "Superman" as Nietzsche terms is the one who overcomes the values of such a fallible herd.
