Ironicity

I would like to thank Yukina for providing the inspiration for this blogpost, I could've done it without you, but you were in the right place in the right time ;D *winks*

...*shivers* >_> anyways,

In this age of internet and facebook, people are connecting on countless levels that were unthinkable a mere hundred years ago~ Oh how far have we come *_*

That, however, is completely unrelated to what I wanna talk about today~

Today, I want to talk about trends. People have this aversion towards being like other people, everyone wants to be unique. If you stand out in a crowd, you're special, and will more likely to be noticed, which is a good thing, unless you're in Japan, where you'll get hammered like a nail..

This desire of being unique and original has been around forever, back when the first caveman thought it would be better if he used the skin of the mammoth he had for dinner to cover up his be-hind (and in-front) rather than get itches from the leaves like all other cavemen. Needless to say, the ladies were all over him. We're his decedents. Sup bro?

Even till this day, you see many aspiring cavemen and cavegirls trying to look as unique as possible, trying to do things that nobody has done before, shunning what's normal, or cliche, or mainstream, or corny. Did you know that there exist people that start to dislike something they like just because too many people started liking it too?! I know right?? Preposterous!

What I've realized, however, is that there are so many people (on the vast culmiverse[1] of the internet) that try their best to be original, to be unique, that the notion of being 'original' and 'unique has actually become the norm!

There are more 'unique' and 'original' people now than people who fit into 'stereotypes' or are 'corny' @_@! Isn't that ironic, don't you think? It's like raiinn~~~ On your wed--

..*cough* sorry. So yeah, don't worry if you think you're stereotypical or are just plain normal or corny. You're actually the trendy ones! ^o^b
