Craze
A craze is an excessive fad or collective mania due to herd behavior.
- Some crazes have mild consequences (fashions).
- But others lead to the excesses of crowd hysteria where the individual personality disappears and regresses to the lowest emotional instinctive denominator of crowd sentiment.
The latter form causes often destructive results, for example stock market bubble, stock market crash, street violence, demonizing and persecution of minorities, political or religious zealotry, etc.
