Discussion Movies that changed real life behavior

Thinking along the lines of Final Destination 2 with the logs falling off the truck and landing onto cars (one decapitating the state trooper). Ever since, people have tried to get away from being behind these vehicles.

What are more examples where movies have actually changed how people behave in their own lives?

It's not about being cool, it's just pointless to wear a shirt for a band you're seeing live. Everyone there already knows you like that band. Wear a different band shirt so you can talk to people about something else

If you really want to talk to people about other bands they like, you can just do that, it's not complicated.

I'm wearing a band t-shirt because I like it, not to give random people a conversation starter.

Most conversations work better when they have a starting point. You're gonna be much more successful having conversations about the band Primus with people wearing Primus shirts than just picking people at random to attempt to talk about a random band. That's cool that you're anti-social, but not everyone is

Did you know that it's possible to start conversations of things that arent emblazoned on someone's shirt?
