It would be interesting to see how this hooks into more general theory of subcultures. i.e., if this is the case there are likely proper academic terms for each of these and a body of work on the subject.
Are there any sociologists in the house?
Uuuuuh, shiny!
Hicks is summarising Eric Hoffer's The True Believer , which I keep meaning to read one of these days and which seems to be considered a classic of social psychology.
