because if more people were like you, you would have to go spend a few more hours at good will trying to be more individual because more and more people are starting to be like you.........than you would have to come home and go on the net and complain that everyone is conforming to your stile, your hole post was pretty much about you not about kids and how they dress...all i herd through your hole post was blah blah im individual blah blah no one is like me blah blah more people should be like me

i like the original post (whoever wrote it) saying that not conforming is conforming. i think i said something along those lines in another post somewhere.
i think people have this unintentional fixation with labels. i think it is just as common with adults as it is teens or children. most of the people on this site are still in high school, so there's yer typical clique-label crap that everybody goes through. In the workplace however, there are just as many useless labels. People are constantly conforming to their political (or nonpolitical) affiliations, religion, social standing and etiquette, gender, race, etc. etc.
in general, i think people should not concern greatly over what they or someone else is wearing. it seems really trivial once you get outta high school, where image is force-fed to the impressionable. let people do what they want. and you do what you want. because in the end, no fashion is original or creative. No label is withstanding...
If you talk to an intelligent person, they will not care what you are wearing. At least, i hope not...

every one i guilty of conforming even if you wont admit it from when you get dressed to what you stand for and how you act you cant get around it it's human nature to want to belong for example i bet you listen to the music your friends do

and if not conforming is conforming please tell me how do i go about being original

well is anything original?
and what is wrong with conforming, if everyone is guilty of it?

I think conforming is just human nature, it's only something to be ashamed of if you deliberately try to be like someone else or a certain stereotype.. But then again I don't know anything, so I may aswell have just kept quiet in this thread from the beginning

Nevermind...

thats what i was kinda trying to say there's nothing wrong with it i was just trying to point out how hipocritical his post was

Ah, conforming. Like the dreaded emo debate, it'll never go away.

The way I see it: Do whatever makes you happy. If that means dressing in the same clothes as your friends and listening to the same records then do it, if it means making sure every band you like is someone that nobody you know has heard of, then do that. If it makes you happy, then get on with it. If something doesn't make you happy, then don't do it.

Oi_To_The_World · 12-06-2004, 04:17 PM

^ i agree with franscar and artistintheambulance. i guess sometimes the obvious just isnt so obvious to everyone.

(i put this in the emo forum because emo is the current trendy thing to be apparently and i'm expecting more flames that way

)
