Trying to be different

Evening goths/punks/emos/loners and freaks...

don't you think it's harder to be different these days? it's a toughie eh? everyone's alternative - everyone's cutting edge or at least that's the image we try and convey isn't it? So what does that say about ourselves. We're all so cool we could vapourize ice cubes at 50 metres? Or maybe We're all so desperate to out do each other and compete in the i'm so popular stakes... you know the ones....the myspace friend count, facebook pokes.....txts and mails, u know the score. what is it about life in britain right now that makes everyone so DESPERATE TO CONFORM TO B DIFFERENT......

Maybe it's summat else. i was chatting to a friend on tuesday - i said - you don't seem yourself. she said - who is - we're all actors these days. no-one is themselves anymore. being you - that's so 90's.

got me thinking. if this was 1979 would i be a punk, or would i be a square? punks then by all accounts were 1 a 100,000 ...so would i have had the guts to dye my hair green and put safety pins through my nose? dunnoh. maybe it was harder to be different in the past. maybe it was harder to express yrself. but maybe, just maybe it was easier to be happy.....Punks Not Dead!
