Yeah, it's very similar... except that we have phones instead of "bling".

You see, mobile phones were a pretty rare and expensive thing when they first appeared (in the late 1990's), so they became a symbol of wealth and prestige. Nowadays, telephones are easily available and affordable, yet they have retained they "prestige" symbolism. Kids are competing who will get the latest phone first...

How foolish they are. Everyone knows real prestige is measured by badges earned on the Wiki :D
