Complacancy in the Music Scene

Have you noticed the way the youth of America are so bent on going out into an underground music scene(whether it be punk/metal/goth/emo/etc.) try to be "different" to fit into the scene but the whole time is following some social code. If they are sad and want to be goth they go get some black jeans, T-shirts with some mediocore band from the eighty's, smear on some black eyeliner/lipstick/fingernail paint and try to be somber. If you wanna go metal wear some tight ass jeans(honestly i don't know what is up with the young dudes nowa days wearing these tight ass jeans-come on man let the boys hang free) and get a Iron Maiden T-shirt and start growing your hair long. Wanna be an Emo just start acting like a whining little bitch and put your hair in your face. The punk scene also has a lot of posers wearing a Germs/Black Flag/Ramones T-shirt(don't get me wrong these bands kick ass just most of the kids wearing those shirts probably don't know shit about the bands at all). Or the guy with the three foot yellow mohawk and the torn to shit jeans with "The Smiths" patches all over them. It's not even just the kids really you got the dudes my age trying to act cool or fit into the Indie scene or whatever. I just call 'em hipsters. You know the type "I'm so cool I paid $200.00 for a haircut." "I know where the best dive bars are." "Have you heard the new Killers/Muse/(insert lame band here) album? It Rocks!" My point being All these people trying to differ themselves from everyone else are just fooling themselves. They are simply falling into a category trying not to be put in a category. I remember a day when it wasn't about fashion or what is cool at the moment. We all just simply listened to music we actually liked. Or stuff that was passed down to us from Uncles/Cousins/Fathers. Ultimately it boils down to not wanting to work hard at being yourself or standing up for what you belive, so you just fall into a slot allotted for you. Hey it's easier to live life when someones guiding you. Or is it........
