"Trendy" "Mainstream" "Unique" "Indie" A thought on the subject of Going with the flow, or being a "Unique Individual!"
I am apparently not a unique individual.
I do not go exclusively to independent coffee shops
I don't listen souly to music made by independent musicians that work from the bottom and climb to the top
I don't only watch hand made animated works that were made by one guy on YouTube.
I will go into a Starbucks, get one of their "girly frappe not coffee at all" drinks and sit on my laptop and enjoy myself.
I will hear a song on the internet, in the store, whatever and get it on my Ipod despite who the singer is, what the opinion of them is, or if they are "Mainstream" or not.
I will quite happily watch any copy paste "Disney Garbage" that shows in theaters, and I will be a mindless sheep that watches "mainstream" programming, buy their merchandise and wear it unironically and look like the worlds biggest corporate tool, swallowing any half attempted garbage they churn out.
I'll go play my uncreative un indie games like Skyrim, and I'll occasionally quote a popular meme (Well I did! but then I took an arrow to the knee!)
I am apparently the definition of a soulless , creativity lacking, media sheep.
And I don't care.
Letting people tell you that if you like a certain thing, enjoy a certain restaurant, or play games, listen to music, and enjoy things that a lot of other people do makes you uncreative, stupid, and a sheep?
Is just as bad as swallowing everything just because it's popular.
People are always unique in their own ways, I for one am a writer, a roleplayer, and I am pretty good at what I do, nobody else will think, write, or express themselves the same way I do.
THAT makes me a individual.
Not what I drink
Not what I listen to
Not what I wear
and not what I watch.
I am an individual because I exist, I will listen to what/I/ want,
Drink what /I/ Want
Play what /I/ want
READ what/I/ want
And it's not your place, job, or call to tell me I am a mindless sheep because I choose to do what I like, instead of what you think I should:)
So I watch a show that is overhyped garbage that is just boring, produces boring sayings, and I wear their stuff, go to their conventions, or make references to the series that has "a bad reputation"
So what?
Ima do my thing, you do yours.
Deal?
