Since I have left the nest and traveled the world, quite literally, I have observed
quite a strange phenomenon. The things that were once artistic, political, or rebellious statements
about one’s identity are now mainstream.
Piercings, tattoos, cursing, obnoxiousness, promiscuity, voluntary bald-headed women,
and whatever else seemed odd at one point has become the norm.
So my question, are these things really still statements?
One of the big topics in my university always consist of one
finding them self and being different from everyone else.
So most teenagers and college aged students, in answer to this,
decided to go to have a statement of some sort made upon them selves,
whether it affected their physical or verbal person.
In order to be different presently, I guess you would have to be the exact opposite
of what was once opposite. No cursing, no tattoos, no piercings, no obnoxiousness,
no promiscuity, and so on and so forth. And if this were the general idea,
humans would be changing between these identities for years to come.
