Additionally, some of the most brilliant people I've met where professors and artists who never iron their clothes, and wear the same ugly shirt every day for months. They were certainly much more interesting to talk to than the overly well-dressed corporate drones entitled "young professional" that roam around every big city.
Nobody dresses for the theater anymore

Not sure why you are so concerned about these things.
Take church for instance. Every pastor I know would rather have people in the pews hearing the Good News than having them not show up because they can't afford a fancy suit.
Many performers feel the same way, they want people to enjoy the performance, and to democratize the experience. Shakespeare is a good example, his plays were meant to be performed for a diverse audience including workers in their everyday clothes.Workers in the 19th and early 20th century all possessed suits and dressed much more formally than you and I do. Of course not while working, but for important events or for simply going around town they dressed up. They cared. You don't
And? Since when the behavior of workers in the 19th century dictate what is good or desirable?

What I don't get is: When I like something, I do it. When you like something, you want everyone else to do it. Doesn't make any sense

Euripides? Ewww
You people are cr inge for engaging in an in ane debate, let me ask you OP what was the most recent theater play you went to? Because from your entire discussion you sound like a char latan that doesn't even go to plays.
Aida just over a months ago. The Bacchantes by Euripides a day before.

It's maddening to see these people going to see plays dressed in dingy jeans and t-shirts.
I remember when going to the theater was an event, and you dressed nice. I'm tired of a country full of arrested developed adolescents.The students wear PJs to class, so I don't know why you would imagine that people would dress decently for the theater.
