Popularity is one of the most common words heard in today’s world. Kids want to fit in and be cool, so idealizing what’s popular is the best thing to do. Whether or not they agree with what it is, or if they actually like what they are pretending to like is debatable. I don’t usually like things that are popular, because it seems to consist of too much conforming to society for me. When I was little, I recall how everyone was different, but as they slowly grew up, people changed to fit more into society’s view of how the world should be. I remember thinking how everyone is like a clone of each other. I think that conforming to society is alright, but to a point. I enjoy standing out, but yet there are times when conformity is the best way to go, just because it’s something important and you don’t want to be judged off of how you act or look. Conforming to society is one of my fears though, because I think that each person needs to retain their individuality.
