Those people you call individuals tend to be the least individual of all. They only like fashions because they're afraid to show who they truly are. Those fashions include Goths, Skaters, Surfers, Moshers and Fashons (yes, I spelt it right) and these are where your so-called 'individuals' come from. Fashons are 'interesting' because they follow the latest trends, listening to Rachel Stevens, Girls Aloud and maybe S-Club Juniors. You can generally tell them apart from everyone else because the stuff they wear is way too tight and is so bright that you'd probably have a seizure if you looked straight at it. Individuality Now, seeing as I've only told you what an individual isn't, I should probably now tell you what one actually IS. They don't exist. Everyone can be categorised, as depressing as it may be. Those guys with bright green dreadlocks who practise witchcraft and wear all boho/hippy gear - they're probably either hippies, moshers
or Goths and are not individual at all. Even those people that appear normal, wearing jeans and T-shirts, are in fact a breed of Fashon - a less annoying breed, clearly! Having ranted on for God knows how long, and wasted many a person's time (my friends are here yawning as I type), I have to say that what I just said is very flexible, and varies from region to region, even from school to school. But, nevertheless, there's still no such thing as an
individual today.
