It's hard to explain. It's like, if I owned a John Deere shirt right now, I wouldn't wear it until the fad was over. If I did wear it, say, to some huge city, and someone I didn't know said "Cool shirt!" I would be disgusted. If it wasn't 'in', and never WAS 'in', and somebody said "Cool shirt!" I'd be like "Thanks!"

I guess I just love that I have a taste for what is not "in", and will probably (hopefully), never BE "in". It's not that I go and say "Oh, this is SO not popular, I'm going to buy it and start liking it". It's just that the things I DO like are usually not popular.

It's the same thing with music. I just LOVE bands that aren't well known. It's not that I like them BECAUSE they aren't well known, but I do enjoy the fact that they aren't known. Then they become popular, and it SUCKS, because I've liked them WAY before. In example, Fallout Boy. I've liked them for a long time, but it seems to me they've just become popular recently..
I guess it's a little selfish - because its good for the band. But that's just an example I suppose.
I try not to let it bother me too much, but I guess its mostly just the ignorance of some people. I'm not saying all people who like to wear popular clothes are ignorant. Sometimes they really are nice clothes! It's just those that will see somebody wearing a skirt, for example, and think "that is SO hideous". Then they see it in a magazine, and they think "Hmmm". They they see some celebrity wearing it and they think "Hmmm!!". Next thing you know they one own. THOSE are the people that bother me.

I guess its the main thing is, why can't people be themselves?
