needs a name You are obviously NOT individual if you listen to system of a down...they are totally and completely mainstream. Excuse me little miss "i'm an unusual and totally original person because i don't listem to anything on the radio/tv" but who in the world says that just because we listen to SOAD we cannot be individual? And what determines if they are mainstream? the large fanbase or the music?

And what determines if they are mainstream? the large fanbase or the music? Mainstream - something that is not out of the ordinary or unusual, something that is familar to the masses, something that belongs to an identifiable genre. The mainstream usually forces individuals to conform to the mores of the group. It is stated that mainstream is seen as the antithesis of individuality. In this case System of a Down is heavy metal, some like to refer to it as alternative metal or nu metal. These are highly identifiable genres and system of a down is MOST definitely known to the masses. Thank you very much.

So anyone who listens to mainstream music is unoriginal? What justifies your statement and why do you make such statements? That is almost as bad as saying that all black people are poor and ghetto.

Deskflipper So anyone who listens to mainstream music is unoriginal? What justifies your statement and why do you make such statements? That is almost as bad as saying that all black people are poor and ghetto. I'm not saying their un-original. I'm saying that by listening to them you aren't individual, which that girl claimed to be. They have an extremely large fanbase. You can't be individual when you listen to the same thing the majority listens to. It just makes you a conformist, especially if someone listens to it to fit in. Spooky kids for example, they all shop at hot topic, they all listen to mainstream music. They aren't individual. They are conformists. What do black people have to do with anything? Your veering off the subject.

Your veering off the subject. By that definition of 'idividuality' everyone has to be the one single follower of a band in order to be individual (see: one person). Frankly, I don't give a s**t about what people say about a band and no-one else should, if someone labels a band as crap just because they broke into the mainstream and a lot got more kids intersested in rock music instead of that shitty bubblegum pop and crazy-frog shite then well boo-hoo they're close minded 'non-conformists' who, actually are conforming to the whole non-conformist anti-establishment mentallity of the human nature. Don't try to impose your opinions onto other people hun, believe it or not we're all our own selves and it just screams "I'm chock full of my own self importance even though 100 years after I'm dead no-one will know who the hell I was". You have good knowlage of 'Goth' music I'll give you that, but don't insult other members of this guild because not all of the bands they like are obscure.

Awwww.... now that's everyone has apologized, we should all get together in a big group hug! Then we can sing and dance around with barney. Oh joy. Lots of sarcasm there, for people for argue endlessly about music genres and conformistic crap. You know what? You're all being conformist with even using the word 'conformist'. Jeez.... Anyway, though you (and this counts for everybody) may think you're all unique and stuff because you listen to non-mainstream and classic gothic rock, there are tons of goths who also do so. Proving, once again, by trying to be unique, you're all un-unique to the fact. There's 3 billion other humans out there, so go ahead, try to be different. Its impossible.
