Lack of creativity or things of personal meaningfulness in their lives. The same reason why everyone about 15-20 years ago was getting those horrible "tribal" arm tattoos, or a sun disk around he navel or the biohazard symbol...These aren't personal or meaningful. They're trite and only show that this person is just like everyone else.
