I agree. People used to dress up to go anywhere other than the gas station. I can even remember when my mom wouldn't go anywhere w/o hair,nails, and make-up done. I'm a music major and I'm required to go to 20 concerts per year to fulfill my convo requirement. I'm amazed the number of shabbily dressed people who come when we have "big name" people performing. Sure maybe they gotta be there for a class or whatever, but would it kill them to wear khakis??? And manners in general have deteriorated too. I feel sorry for the generation that's slightly older than me (late 20s-early 40s) because they definitely saw the decline of civility.
