All this talk of posers, scenesters, conformity and non conformity has me thinking, you can't really avoid conformity. Either you conform, or you conform by not conforming like everyone else does. All you can really do to beat the system is just not give a crap. Just dress and act in a way that you are comfortable with, and don't worry about what anybody else does or thinks. As the song says, what's the point of not conforming if it changes you? Just be true to yourself.
