Follow the Mainstream. Be Unique. - Comments

I've said that so many times it's almost ridiculous.
=]

But so many people that are "unique" are really just the same...

I understand what ur saying taht it all kind of bec ame a trend to go out and dye your hair purple and at the same time your right but dont we all want to fit in i mean you can group us physically but you can't tell me I'm like anyone else because when you think about it no one is!
special and proud of it-
mtd

great article! i completely agree. though the thing, even if they are mainstream subject, can still be unique... music is my life because i'm a girl who plays baritone and trombone and mood changes with what i listen to, yeah there's probably someone out there who is the same or similar, but it still makes me unique and different from the people around me. but yeah i still agree, people want to be different and thus become the same.

Awesome article. I've given up trying to be different, because I've realized people really do only end up in a different group

i really dont strive to be anything. i just be myself and love life and be cool. thats all you gotta do in life. i dont care what people think i dont care what music they listen to it just has never been much of a problem to me. i have alot of different friends from different cliques. but i really do think this article is totally right :]

Lolz to the comment below

I.love.you. I've thought this for so long. Marry Me?

In my opinion, I'm both unique and different. I don't follow the crowd and what they do . I try set trends for people to one day like.

This is a really great article. It was well-spoken and intelligent.

I think in all honesty that people should just be open-minded, not unique. If something influences them in a way they like then they should express it by their own means without taking credit for it. They can listen to what they want, dress how they want, whatever. As long as you're enjoying yourself and keeping your own--here's the only thing that's important in uniqueness--thoughts. Then everything is amazing. Stop trying to fit in; it's less fun if you're one in a crowd. Enjoy yourself. That's what I believe.

I completely agree with you.

I've always thought that people are more unique when they don't TRY to be unique...If that makes sense.

Like, I'm unique in the fact that I'm myself. But I guess you could say I dress "scene" and I listen to all the popular modern rock bands. I don't avoid trends but I don't purposefuly follow them either. I like what like, therefore I am unique. =)

This is a great article!

Oooh I agree! That was great ^-^ We're all unique in our own ways.
The media makes me feel like a piece of meat =\
"Oh. That one there. Bright colors and very loud. 20 POINTS OF UNIQUENESS 8D" type thing. Its one big stereotype.
We are all stereotyped somehow.
But yes. We are all unique.
Good job on article, again :3

Great Article!! It makes you think.

Me adn my sister were just talking about this no more than an hour ago, and I agree. Great artical!

Amen! I, too, was just thinking about this the other day, and everything you said is 100% true.

Great article!

Exactly, though I think wanting to have things in common with others is a trait that most humans have. So it's natural that everybody would sort of lean toward being the same, even if being the same is striving to be different.

I was trying to explain that to my friend the other day, but she wouldn't listen.
Great article, you put it really well =]

i was thinking about this the other day oddly enough
