Rebellion

[FayetheADHDsquirrel]

I was born in the 1990s and I can't stand hard rock. I don't know the differences between all the specific type variations but I don't like the loud noisy growling ect. rock music styles. I don't like rap music or most country music either.

I have had the term "free spirit" leveled at me a number of times. Having grown up being a dreadlocked Reggae artist who lived on the road (in buses) and had loads of babies (7) I think maybe I might've been perceived as a "Rebel" in the inspired-by-Bob Marley-way.

I was always strong willed and independent and never particularly cared if my attitudes conformed with the rest the rest of society or not. I never cared about style or fashion and I always had a lesser opinion of those that need to follow the rest of the sheeps and buy whatever the man on the television tells them to. I've always done what I liked when and how I liked with little concern for other people's opinions.

Am I a rebel? No.

When a person likes what they like despite the intrusive opinions of others, that is an act of freedom, not an act of rebellion.

I agree with that totally. It always amused me whenever people tried to put a stereotype to me, just when they thought they had it nailed down it would turn out that that's not who I am at all.

Oh well....according to my family history, it's rife with "rebels". Must be in our blood.

From Manassas to Fredericksburg to Antietam....and Belfast to Derry.

LOL.

My family motto is more like " Have fun storming the castle."

The irony is that I am JUST NOW discovering alot of 90's punk, grunge, and rock years later. Stuff teenage me would of 100% loved.

It took me more than half a lifetime for me to realise I am a Rock freak!
Better late than never.
Call me a relic, call me what you will.

Apparently, standing up for the Truth is being an anarchist.
Go figure.

My non-conformism has always been by not doing the rebellious and/or deleterious things my peers did.

I find it hilarious when some people, who get a tattoo, think they are a rebel, these days.
Every man, woman, gender-diverse, and their dog has one these days.
Well, except me.

I don't have any and do not care to get any. Personally, I find tattoos very unattractive.

To each their own. <shrug>

Not a big deal these days.
I have mellowed.
Better late than never.

I would not use the word "rebel." More like a militant non-conformist. I've been a militant atheist since I can remember. I'm not interested in following trends or traditions. Although you probably wouldn't think that upon meeting me. I look pretty bland.

Where I come from getting drunk and smoking weed is conforming to normal trends. So am I a rebel for not getting drunk and smoking weed?

Take off your mask and let us decide.

Yes.
That is how it works.

When everyone says they are individuals, but one persons says they aren't, who then is the true non-conformist?

If I got addicted to alcohol or drugs the way I'm addicted to Facebook and Autism Forums then I'm glad I never got into drugs or alcohol, because I'd probably be dead by now from overuse.

"If it's too loud, then you are probably too old"

But i still like it loud! Just music tho.

 

[RemyZee]

Of course not.
I do everythinkg by the book.
Everythinkg I do is via social convention. <irony>

All in all, I'm just another brick in the wall.

The funny thing is, my illusion of being a non-conformist may simply be due to a symptom of having ADHD, I have read recently.
Luckily, I have no perceptible ego, and I am fine with the possibility.

Lol. I have also wondered if my non conformity is actually adhd

Great song

It was posted as a joke.

The OP used to build killer mobile sound systems.

I used to be pretty good it it too.

Correct, I don't have sound sensory issues.

My career and lifestyle choices exposed me to loud sounds on a regular basis.
This included helping with music festivals where the music is never quiet.
My quest for high powered audio gear was to get my systems to be as distortion free as possible and to over-ride my tinnitus.

Yes the eternal quest to reduce feedback.
