Conformist

One who mindlessly or intentionally follows certain standards for social purposes, we're all conformists to an extent.

Someone that does things based on what others want them to do and how society wants them to be. You are not a conformist if you like a new band or type of clothing, you're a conformist if you like those things cause your friend does.

What most people call conformist is wrong. The conformist are people who try to fit in to any mainstream trend that is that status quo of the time. Like today many kids like Lil Wayne, and it's popular to like Lil Wayne, Hip-hop, or emo music(to a lesser extent). Anyone who's not abiding by the stat quo of popularity today is considered lame, and just because you conform to a smaller less popular group, that does not make you an conformist also.
Being a conformist in modern day sense means to like what ever is popular, and what the radio and channels like MTV and BET project as what today's teens or 20 somethings should be.
It's like any kid who likes Nirvana naturally is seen as uncool because they aren't conforming to today's widely popular music or trends.

Everybody. All that is need be said. It is literally impossible to be original. No matter what you think of, somebody somewhere has already done it. The people who started each original idea are generally labeled as conformists. The crazy kids that sit off in the corner wearing dark clothes with the anarchy shirts are conforming to the anarchist mindset, and no matter what they say about conformity, they all go along with it.

Despite [popular] belief, we are -not- all [conformists]. We are however, all [influenced] by sources other than ourselves. An [individual] would be a person whom does what he/she wishes to, for reasons that he/she has justified themselves, rather than doing something because someone else deems it as correct, or cool, a [conformist] does the opposite. In short, a [conformist] gives way too much of a shit about what others think.
Sadly, the polulation has decided to [categorise] themselves as one thing or another, leading to so many labels, that we just assume that everyone is being a [conformist slut], the vast majority of the time.
The whole Emo thing is the current conformist favourite, even though the concept is that Nobody understands me. and Im so different., when everyone undergoes this transformation, being a basketcase is now cool.
I say we dont give them psychological help, and instead leave them to bleed from the wrists, crying, until they die. -

-
someone who behaves or thinks like everyone else, rather than being different
