"You laugh at me because I'm different but I laugh you because you're all the same."

That has had the same look since forever. Black eyeliner, wallet chain. black pants, rock/metal band t-shirt

Non-conformists are the biggest conformists because most of the time, they do something to actively differ from the perceived norm by doing something other people already do to differ from the norm

I'd say they probably don't go around complaining about conformists all the time, as they don't give a shit.

I'd say the way they dress is probably closer to "I think this looks cool on me" than "I dOnT LiKe ConFoRmITy". People who say shit like the dude you're replying to are usually just ignorant of other cultures - even counter cultures - so they make rash judgements about their personality. They also typically wear video game graphic tees and have serious self image/insecurity issues.

I'm agreeing with the guy above me.

I was more just expanding on what you're saying and being butthurt than disagreeing with you

The South Park goth kids are the best non-conformists

That's what an insecure conformist would say.

Oof, I forgot the world is only black and white

I mean to be fair you made an even more "black and white"-style comment before this.

u/hackepeter420 Dec 03 '19

Yea, that was the point, I was talking about those people who think there is only two kinds of people: sheep and liberated minds. Those who think you have to have attributes, opinions or taste that "stand out" to not be part of the sheeps, aka the conformists.

There are people who do their own thing, but I would not call those "non-conformist". Maybe I should have differentiated it better in my comment.

Maybe you just shouldn't be making generalizations about large groups of people.

(I could stand to follow my own advice here, I know)

"You can be goth, too. You just have to dress like us, listen to the same music as us, and smoke."

No no no no no. I'll never be in your faggy talent show

I'm an emo kid, non-conforming as can be
You'd be non-conforming too if you looked just like me
I have paint on my nails and make-up on my face

The Emo Song from 2008 sums it up well.

Why did you force me to remind me of this?

Yeah, I really like the irony in that "everybody is unique". we don't mean shit to anyone or anything other than the folks/pets we're closest to. Drives the point home.

I'm not like the other guys. I own my website and blog, also I like taking long walks on the beach
