Are You a Rebel? Or are You Just another Sheep following the Non-confor

Are You a Rebel? Or argon You Just another Sheep following the Non-conformity Flock?Its like living on the outside of society and seeing what a crock of shit it is, only if then approaching it again with a sense of humor. I mean, when youre equal to see society as this sort of funky, funny illusion, it makes it easier to deal with it because in that respect is no rhyme or reason to the way it works. RuPaul, on kick culture (Genre, March 99)Rebellion. *Its about articulating that little inner voice thats in on the whole of us, the voice which resists being assimilated into the mass conformity that is American society. The tincture of our interaction has diminished so much that we barely recognize each other as land. The American way of life has destroyed our personal identity while pretending to cater to it, and the natural interdependence of society has been compromised by the shrieks of mass media and the cubicle farms they c whole workplaces. We are all gearing up for s ome heavy shit, all around the world. The yuppies are putting together their silly stock option plans, the Pakistanis are aching for jihad against India, the major labels are trying harder than ever to saturate our culture with Limp Bizkit diddly and kill Napster while theyre at it. To me, it fits together like a puzzle. Its all related. This is more than a complaint about social differences. Its about human nature. Stick around I think I can resurrect this. The hippie and freak hordes would have us believe than they are the sole bastions of non-conformity and approveance left in America. They are not.I really disfavour stories like Hans Christian Andersons The Ugly Duckling. Not all ugly ducklings hitch into swans. Some of us turn into ugly ducks. We need to learn to accept it, and to find that being an ugly duck isnt really necessarily all that bad, because going with the flock isnt always the best or most delicious way to go, even if it does seem like the easiest. I was n ever one and only(a) who fit in with my peers. From the day I began school at the days of five, it was obvious that I was somehow different from the rest of them. Since I was hyperactive, attractive of shy, and too intellectual to be popular, I rarely had many friends, and at times tack together myself a subject of ridicule, mocking, and outright abuse. My first ploy, which lasted for a number of years, was to attempt to conform. This was very muc... ...tandards, but these standards were made by conformity. The mating itself is some form of bob uplion. By being apart of that group, he conformed to the rebels standards.A cultural sweat is a cultural movement be it hippie, skater punk, raver trash or otherwise. Nobody wants the whole world to live in peace as one big felicitous family. Its contrary to instinct. We all want to be the bottisavatta in the flowing robes who dictates the church doctrine to the rest of the world. And thats not the way things work. This world has wi nners and losers, geeks and popular kids. Junior superior repeats itself until you are dead. So whats a rebel to do? I dont know. probe reading. Jack Kerouac is not still a best selling reference because of his cool Gap khakis. A nation of people didnt follow Lenin into virtually 80 years of collectivist silliness because of his natty goatee and adorable accent. Or try remembering these simple rules 1.)Rebellion is free. 2.) Rebellion does not fall in six different colors. 3.) Rebellion does not have a soundtrack and a movie deal in the works. 4.) Rebellion is not found in a piercing store, tattoo parlor, drug store, hash shout out or a Quentin Tarrantino movie.
