google search and I came up with this I wear my collar up in reverence. Rich kids do it to be hip, cool or any other euphemism used to describe fitting in. I don't mind though, they're just having fun. Daddy is paying for school and other than kegers at the frat they have nothing better to do then act like a cultured man. When i see them on campus with flip-flops, shorts and a flipped up collar I know that in 4 years (well more like 6 for most of them) they are going to be working at daddy's firm or for a friend of dad's. Nepotism will get them the job; the job will get them the money which in turn will buy all the things needed to get laid. But during all that time their collar will be down! Buttoned up and laying atop a tie. They will be suits, drones. No culture, no class, no soul... no collar up. And I? I'll continue to wear my collar up, in reverence and defiance of the status quo they will represent. I'll finish my graduate studies and get paid what they consider a "chicken shit" salary as a research professor. They will be status quo; I will be wearing my collar up. I'll be what they pretended to be: cultured, educated, classy, elegant. So to all the richies, keep wearing your collars up because soon enough you'll be done. Don't believe me? Check out Mr. W Bush, he use to wear his collar up and party. Now he works with daddy's friends finishing the job daddy didn't. So collars up is for working folks! Look at history: Beethoven wore his collar up, Frederick Douglas wore his collar up and the panthers wore their collars up. Tradition is on my side.
