The rich have always imitated the rest of us.
Tattoos used to see you barred from many military and civil service organizations. Now ink is considered cosmopolitan and they’re allowed.
Low-income service workers used to occupy the top floors of residential buildings, and even set up makeshift accomodation on building roofs. They called them penthouses.

That’s just called Burning Man
Now thats what I call appropriating.
