I spent the holidays with my brother, his girlfriend and my fiance`. My brother (Josh) lives in Brooklyn and has become essentially a judgmental vegan smoker which I've experienced a lot of any time I go visit him--people who do hard drugs but won't eat bread. While we were at my Grandma's I told her to turn on some music I thought she'd like and she did in fact enjoy it. Now Josh and his girlfriend unleash their inner Brooklyn and just destroy this music that everyone was enjoying. I was triggered by this situation which came to fruition apparently today.

Is it just me or did everyone forget that they like liking things? I have heard nothing but judgment about music, movies, TV shows, hobbies etc for so long it's almost normal to me now but it shouldn't be. In my opinion people who behave this way are attempting to be special or out of the ordinary and in reality they are exactly like everyone else around them. If you really want to standout nowadays you'll shop at the gap and listen to Dave Matthews Band.

It kind of reminds me of high school. I was friends with pretty much everyone but the coolest kids to me were the outcasts. I didn't realize until later that the reason I thought that was because they didn't give a shit about what the other kids thought and they were just being whoever it was that they were at the time. This is part of the reason I feel like I can't relate to people anymore because everyone my age acts like a complete idiot.

Can anyone relate to this or is it just me?

Ugh... hipsters.

It's not even just hipsters though it's people who have adopted their judgmental mindset too. Seems like everyone my age in NJ is like this practically. I can't stand it.

Maybe they are all hipsters.

You're right. Getting into a sort of recursive logic, I've had this conversation quite a few times, what seems to have happened is that people were so constantly and consistently told it was cool to be different, that they took this as "Don't like something that someone else does" and it shows in their criticism. So they try to anti-conform to things, and what makes it funny is that this is now the standard thing to conform to- anti-conformity.

Basically they defeated their purpose by making that their purpose. But, this is just my theory based on my experience with it.

I was thinking about this this morning. Like cosplay and comic cons. It used to be for nerds or whatever. Now it is the most mainstream conformist activity in the known universe. It's the very definition of "following the crowd".

Step 2: do something not lame instead.

That's all I have. I have literally zero understanding of cosplay culture. It's just some weird combination of ultra "follow the crowd" and stripping. It's the modern version of 1990s high school cheerleaders. Nothing wrong with it. It's just a socially accepted version of soft stripping. For people who want to strip but don't feel comfortable being honest about it.

Yep. They adopt the idea of "defying societal norms" because everyone else was doing it... making it a societal norm. lol

I think my costumes are the exactly opposite of stripping.
