Without getting caught up in technicalities, they aren't always paper. I think the bigger festivals have rubber ones (similar to the LIVESTRONG craze a while back - and if you remember,
that was a fashion phenomenon for 6 months or so. It was in the UK anyway).
Bracelets/sweatbands are mass produced and people wear those. What's the difference, except that festival ones are in short supply and "represent" something*?
*I'm not defending them, I think they're ridiculous. But they really are just another fashion item.
