      UNDERRATED CULTURAL SYMBOL tag
    
  • 66 (Get your kicks on Route 66).  
    
A bit odd this one.

Let's hope this genre doesn't die out.  
    
Weak pulse, though.

      NEW WAVE PSYCHOLOGY tag

  • These tags are secret propaganda for the ideology called New Wave Psychology.

Idea for "CULTURE Tags" based on "Crise Tags,"
    
price-tags on which Robert Crise, Jr.
    -- Kent State art student and Jerry's Diner waiter --
    
wrote his signature and other messages.
