RE: Brands | Crazy People Cults or Simply Tools for Trust

The psychology is pretty extensive in this case but one of the points I think we should definitely mention (aside form advertising and marketing) is that humans naturally want to belong to a group. We constantly seek out differences or things in common so we can decide where we belong. So brands offer us a way to say... "these are the values I want to align myself with" whether that is quality, specs, vision, design, corporate social responsibility or whatever is all up to the person that decides to 'join the group'...

True. Being apart of a group is an important part in how people make their life decisions. Not just in brands, but in every aspect of life this can be a factor. Especially when we view things like political or religious preferences. I often see people in interviews struggling with the "why" question when asked about their beliefs.
As you said, it's about belonging to and identifying with the values of a group in these cases, rather than individuality.
