Anti-Conformity

"Look at what she's wearing.  I'd never be caught wearing something like that!"

"Oh, look at that haircut.  Geez, that guy is weird!"

There have been times where I ahve caught myself saying stuff like that about people who are dressed differently to me and to what I'm used to seeing.  How many times have you told yourself that you are not a conformist yet feel scared to to be different?  You tell yourself that today I will do my own thing and I will be different from everyone else and yet when push comes to shove, you just follow in what the crowd is doing?

Here are some lyrics to a song by Krystal Meyers called "Anticonformity" :

It's all around
Pressure from my so-called friends
It's all around
I'm measured by some stupid trend
It's all around
Everyone is just like them
It's all around
It's all around
It's all around
[Chorus:]
So I'm anticonformity
I don't try too hard to be
I'm not what you think you see
Inside I've made a change
And I'll never be the same
NO WAY!
They conform
Un-individuality
They conform
Forget about variety
Yeah they conform
They don't know what they believe
They conform
They conform
They conform
[Chorus:]
So I'm anticonformity
I don't try too hard to be
I'm not what you think you see
Inside I've made a change
And I'll never be the same
NO WAY!
Image is overrated if it washes off in the rain
You know you gotta go deeper to go against the grain
[Chorus:] [2x]
So I'm anticonformity
I don't try too hard to be
I'm not what you think you see
Inside I've made a change
And I'll never be the same
NO WAY!

It feels as though you are expected to follow a trend or else you are a loser if you do not.  Apparently you are cool if you do what all the "cool" kids are doing. 
I find it sad that the things you do are dictated to you by your "friends" and you are a loser if you don't follow certain "rules" of society. 
It's so awesome when you see someone doing something different and they still hold their head up even if people are looking down on them.
I think it's time to be who you really want to be.  Don't listen to what other people want you to be but listen to what YOU want to be. 
Just be different.  Be your true self....
