Why do people try to fit in?
Why do people try to be what they're not?
Why are people so prone to do these things?
It makes no sense to me.

Thats because it doe's. It makes perfect sense.

People conform so one day they can get a respectable job and live a comfortable life. Wearing different clothes or listening to less than popular music doesn't make you unique or better than anyone else. Grow up.

Don't get me wrong, sometimes uniqueness can be good. If we were all exactly the same at everything, life would be a bit boring. You don't have to try to fit in if you don't want to.

But trying not to "just because" is nonsense.

yeah damn people for having different reasons from you for listening to the music you listen to!

buts thats just the point i was trying to make people who watch MTV are conforming by only listening to music that the other ppl do and saying that they're original but their all just posers

Re: Why do people conform?

What's the point in trying to find music to like that other people do not like?

Re: Why do people conform?

If you like it, is it especially relevant whether 1, 1000 or 100 million people also like it?

Or maybe they just like the music.

Re: Why do people conform?

I'd almost prefer the complete opposite. I'd prefer a large amount of other people liked the same music as I do because then I could easily talk to random people about how good a song is, or how I like how something sounds, etc.

I mean, that doesn't mean I'll stray away from something or listen to something a bit less just because few people like it, but others enjoying the same thing as I do is just a nice "extra" thing.

I mean, there are some songs almost everyone knows. Is it not fun to talk about them?

Re: Why do people conform?

The whole branch off discussion in this thread about music is extremely ignorant, almost to the point of stupidity. People who like the music on MTV listen to it for the same reason some people listen to not well known music: because they like the ****ing music.

Every person is unique in some way, no matter how many "labels" they supposedly conform to. Thread over.

People want to be accepted. We're social like that.

Re: Why do people conform?

some people think if they can be someone else that they will be better looking or popular...some of us in the world (like me) don't care what others think of them and become better at what they do and make their parent(s0 proud
