random mumbling i hope you can understand

so i'm finishing up the newest american dad.. and I realized i had a great idea come to me the other day. You know how you think about things right as your falling asleep and you're too tired to get up and write it down. You say "Oh i'll remember it in the morning". Sure sometimes you remember but the majority of the time you don't. Usually I don't. So i made a reminder in my phone so that i could come back later and expand on that thought. What i was thinking about is how some people try too hard to be different. Ya know who I'm talking about. In like eighth grade, it started as the kids who cut themselves, or wore all black or participated in witch craft. Maybe i'm the only person who knew these people. But they were out there. Then it turned into the emo kids who listened to depressing music and swung there hair and the skaters and hardcore kids who thought it was cool to beat each other up at shows. I'm not hating on these people or saying that being preppy and wearing nothing but abercrombie is the right way to go. It just seems like the people who try so hard not to conform to the norms end up conforming with each other. If your into different things than by all means go for it. I also understand the idea of rebelling against society. I mean the hippies did it during the Vietnam war, the punks did it in the eighties. I just feel like our generation has nothing as significant to rebel against. We are doing nothing to improve our society. Sure there is the "go green" movement. But now it's just something fashionable to do. If you think about it, our college age buddies in the nineties started that one, before it was popular. So kids our days try so hard to be different these days without proving anything by it or doing anything important with it. Get out there and change something. Don't just act different because your a rich kid and you want people to see you for something else. So you grow some dreads, smoke some pot, or join a gang. WTF? that's not cool ok so maybe the smoking pot is. hah but don't just change your outward appearance to influence peoples opinion of you. If you want to look your best that's one thing. I personally am very concerned about my appearance and how people view me. But I don't alter my appearance to "not conform" so that people think i'm different and interesting. I do things I want to do because I enjoy them not because it's what everyone else is doing. basically what I am trying to say is that it's okay just to be a rich kid or a poor kid. don't try and be what you aren't. do things that interest you and could help enrich out society. well i hope that was coherent and easy to follow.. it made since in my head and i hope that everyone else can follow it .. peace
