...your comment that the "hapless initiates" were seen "butchering that modern-day ballad by the Backstreet Boys," I can only assume that you did not see the performance.

I purposefully dressed more casually. I sat on the floor Indian-style. I even sang horrible Backstreet Boys songs to show I was hip. All this posturing to no avail. The kids were convinced.
