Trends
Lately my friends have been following the heard, you know, 'trendoids'. They always do whats popular at the time, and listen to the popular music. I hate that. I like being different. When an underground band i liked went mainstream, i stopped likeing them, because when everyone else likes them, it was no longer my thing. So my question is, am i trying TOO hard to be my own person? and am i being true to myself? thanks in advance, please no stupid answers!

I think that you might be trying a little too hard, but just thing of this. Just because a band that you liked became mainstream doesnt make their music bad, it just means theyre more popular. you shouldnt dislike something because its popular, dislike it because you dont like it! its the same with clothes, etc. If you like something you are perfectly allowed to like it whether its popular or not, youre still being your own person. Just maybe mix it up a littl e bit more if you are still worried about becoming too much of a "trendoid". Like it because you like it, dislike it because you dislike it, no other reasons.
I hope this could help!

well, if you still liked teh bands' songs, what diff. does it make that they're mainstream?
besides not EVERYONE will still liek them.
liek i like hilary duff, my friend hates her. some people r in luv with orlando bloom, i hate him.
so really, not everyone will liek that band. if you liek it you like it! it sounds liek you are doign what you r trying NOT to do!
see, you said you stopped liking tham, sounds 2 me liek you did b/c other people would 2 and you wanted 2 make sure you werent "liek evry1 else" so you PULLED AWAY from what YOU liked!
who knows, maybe teh fact that you liked them made very1 else liek 'em too because just 5 people actually did.
soryr if im confusing but i think that if u wanna do sumthin, regardless of if everyone luved them or everyone hated them, do it!

You can't try to be different. You're either different or you're not. You can't force it. It's bad to try and be like everyone else, but it's also bad to try and be different. If you have to try to be contrary to what you are, then you're not being yourself. And there's nothing worse than denying who you truly are.
Since you asked this question, I don't think you feel you are being true to yourself, or else you wouldn't have doubts. You don't need to change who you are. You didn't need to stop liking a band just because they went mainstream. I know it can be frustrating when they do this (I was pretty mad Green Day went mainstream) but it's no reason to stop liking their music. Yes, 'trendoids' are annoying, and it's good to relish in the fact you are different - but by pushing it, you're 'conforming' in a way because you're trying to fit in with what's 'alternative' If that makes sense. So start being yourself more. :)

No. You aren't. I remember when people went around with like 50 livestrongs on each arm. LITERALLY! I didn't even have the original yellow one. Eventually in the soon to be dying out days of the livestrong I got four new ones nobody knew about. People were either like "FINALLY" or "OMGOSH WHERE DID U GET THAT ONE???" but the thing was, nobody ever got the ones I had because the fad was dying and places stopped selling them and people started forgetting about them and getting bored with them, and regretting the money they spent on them. I know I regretted the 8 bucks I spent on them. The point is, YOU don't need to be swayed by what other people do as long as YOU are the person who lives in YOUr body. The main word is you. Not them. You.

Well, you're not really trying to be you, you're trying to be the opposite of everyone else. Finding yourself is one thing, but when you've already got yourself figured out, than why would you be so desperate to change? It's okay if you have something in common with other people sometimes.. really. Also, people tend to dislike those who just try waaaaay hard to stand out. Just be yourself.

You are who you are. And you shouldn't change that. You should be happy with you are, and what decisions you make with your life and all the choices that it comes with. Maybe you are trying to hard you be your own person..But, if that's what you want to do then do it. I think that makes you very unique, and you should stick with it.

Yeah I think you are..I mean you stopped liking a band because the band you liked went mainstream?You should like your own music..and stay with it..no matter if its underground or mainstream..same wit clothes if you like something wear it weather its popular or not.Hope I helped
Luv,Tay
