individualcopycatism



are you an individual or an individual part on the assembly line
i left my house put on an ensemble
entered the train to sit next to my fashion twin
no i have not stooped into the valleys of vanity
i sat next to a guy wearing the same equivalent jeans the same colour
even the same back pack
it started to make me think
i picked this ensemble to fit in
but how many people do
for clothes provide two functions
warmth and statement
and across from me was a guy who have a jacket which i have at home and could of easily worn that day
which gets me onto how does individuality work within the confounds of a city
with regards to clothing
there are three roles
purchase alter or make your own
if you purchase then its possible others can purchase it and how man have been in the position where
their item of clothing or attempt at individualism has been thwarted by someone asking where did you get it
for they'd like to get it also

this is quite a problem for some people but is it only a problem of the vain but is it only a problem of the vain but if you wanted to make a statement you may get to this crossroad also
which have same people going to charity shops looking for retro outfits or altering them which may to a craze where your niche becomes a noose
and are unwillingly swept with the wheelbarrow
like with the glasses i have people come up to me asking
if their prescription
or otherwise which
can be perceived as a crowd follower

so does individualism always spawn into a group society perhaps that might be its aim for
fads die out
and never really get the said statement
but societies normally stay true
so is individualisms main problem the ferocity of fads and those who favour them
for their vain ends and favour the message none
such as che Guevara merchandisers
an anti capitalist malformed for capital
or for cool and type casting and boxing

so does individualism transform into individual grouping
for do originality and individuality collide
coincide and fraternise
or does individualism
transcend the boxes
used to exploit it
such as fashion
fashion accessories
which means you are failing your objectives
instead of rising to them
for the question beckons
can naked people be individuals
or are they really individuals
for the externals are
but the immaterial the abstract the illustrious


possibly
