Have you ever noticed how hard everyone tries to be a non-conformist? I was recently watching the Billboard awards and it seems as if all of the "artists" were trying to one-up each other by having a crazy, colorful, weird performance. But what they failed to see was that in their attempts to be unique, they actually were all acting like one another. So at what point does uniqueness (not sure if that is a word lol) become the norm?
There was a day when Elton John was seen as a strange man, but making great great music. But nowadays Elton John seems like a conservative old man with goofy glasses, and still making great music I might add. Where Elton differs from the rest of the people today was the fact that he actually has talent, not just the want to be famous for money. So does that mean people now are acting out just as a way to cover their lack of talent for the sake of being famous? I don't think this is a steadfast rule to follow, but I am just not sure why everyone is trying so hard to stand out from one another when biology does that for us. We all differ via genetic code, unless you are a twin, in which this case is moot, but for most of us we are all different on our own. I could ramble on and on, but the point I am trying to make is: We all should stop trying to be unique, and learn to live together. Maybe then we can strive to that Utopian world where we all live happily ever after where the world is at peace. dare to dream...
