Reply to comment by devo_inc in TIL there are people in France who have actually done time in jail for stealing garden gnomes in the name of The Garden Gnome Liberation Front by Koivosto

It's because of people that can't come up with their own fun things and have to imitate something they see in movies/tv.

So many people think it's original to steal a garden gnome and take pictures of it on their travel because of Amelie.

Look at me! I steal quirky ideas in movies and pretend it's my own personality!

Wednesday is the current one like that. Dressing in black and saying mean stuff to happy people..how edgy!

"I always wanted to play the cello, ok?"

It's almost like young people look to others to help define what they should be, and lacking a suitable example nearby, try to kind of cobble it together with other sources. Might be a little annoying to witness at the start, but a good sign that they're willing to learn if impressed.
