Yeah, i like that idea, but i find that by dressing differently people approach me anyway, to ask me why i dress that way, or something of the like.
An austrian friend of mine has this saying tattooed onto his arm:
Nur tote fishen shwimmen mitt dem strom
*note - not sure of spelling* It means "Only dead fish swim with the stream." I don't think there's anything wrong with being mainstream, as long as you choose it, and don't simply do it by default.
What do you reckon: Yay or Nay?
yeah mainstream is ok if thats who u r and thats what u choose
i like the idea of phat pants cos even tho its a "thing" and alot of ppl actually have them u design the way u want and make em individual...another way of expressing your uniqueness :) i havent done mine yet! but they are gonna be sick when there done hehehe
and yeah i hate labels too but unfortunately they will always be there...i know who i am and it took me a long time to find me so i liek to express myself in outrageous ways cos thats part of who i am...i dont think its attention seeking...its just me happy to be me and showing the world :D
for too long i just looked and acted like everyone else and i have finally said 'fuck it, this is me'

i'd love to think that i'm *not* mainstream (which reminds me of a song by eef barzelay - band: clem snide - called "you're not as weird as you'd like to think"), and i'm not in some ways (lip piercing, raging lefty, weird hair and clothes), but then, i'm not a total deviant.
i go to uni, i have a job, i *generally* obey the law...i dunno. i know for sure that i don't fit into *any* steretypical group though...i'm a grungehead and a raver, a football-playing, l33t 5p33|<ing g33k who reads a lot...

I used to consider myself very anti-mainstream... then I realised that so did everyone else I knew... :\
It all ends up in a big loop - you do what's different until everyone is also doing it, then you do something else until everyone else does that too, and then eventually you end up doing what you did originally.
In the end you realise that it doesn't matter if you're mainstream or not, because when it comes down to it the opinions of other people, while nice, really mean fuck all. Just do what makes you happy - it's much easier... :)
 
I just do what I do.
I don't really give a fuck about any of the norms.... appearance, impressing people, current trends, etc. Now, while I'm sure this makes me mainstream within some little minority I've never heard of, frankly I don't care. I'm just me.
 
"I wanna be alternative just like everyone else!"
Hmm, I'm bored at work and realised something. I am weird. *nuff said as if you know me, you will agree*
And very anti mainstream (in thought, actions, et cetera). Even wear my 'street wear' to work just to be a REAL BAD ASS :P
Disclaimer: It's friday morning and Teri Yaki is still fresh in my mind and ears :)
 
My philosophy to life is to take life seriously in a non-serious way. I do the things that every man and his dog does, but with a little twist here, and a little difference there.
That's what makes me so predicatably unpredicatable.
i fucking love that quote. thats me in a nutshell. like SLMuffin also, look like a perfect innocent outside, im the perfect person to bring home to the parents. but jesus, i get on the shit sometimes...
im early 20's take care of my appearance, im nice to most everyone, i work in property sector, sinlge/taken on and off throughout the year.
Even thought i have many many aquaintances in sydney, i really only like hanging with about 5 people that i know.
but i love my life. and live my car trips down to melbourne. even if they are by myself sometimes I love the fact that people think what i do is outragous, but it warms my heart when they tell me they are jealous in a way.
ps - to those poeple who quote the other people i think its very nice, because it shows you read thier posts, and not just your own.

I try be semi fashionable but meh.. I'd never put on something I didnt like because it was 'cool'.
I've got very defined taste. I know instantly what I like and dislike. Most of the time this is very different to whats popular :P
 
I think honestly, I might be trying to get away from the mainstream in order to assert myself as an individual and cause controversy instead of just doing it cos it feels right, but then again, its not that I don't like mainstream culture, it has many wonderful things if you look, its just that I don't wanna be a sheep.

I listen to breaks. Does that make me mainstream?
I shop at General Pants and Urban Store. Does that make me mainstream?
I studied business at uni. Does that make me mainstream?
I eat Maccas and Pizza Hut, Hungry Jacks and KFC. Does that make me mainstream?
But really, the only important question is, 'who gives a fuck?'
- Ask Plazma. In his mind I'm as mainstream as they come. In my mind, I just can't bring myself to care. -
 
I am probably about as mainstream as they come.
But I like to think that I am hella alternative.
As everyone says "who really cares?" I am getting fit, enjoying varied music and loving life.
Regardless of being "commercial" or not, I am having an awesome time :)
