Argument Hour - Originality

Ever wondered...
Who started wearing fitted caps with the stickers still on them?
Who first decided to eat their fries with cheese and onions like some kind of animal?
Who thought spinning on their head was so cool?

In a tired media driven world, we seem to believe anything new we do is originial. It may be cool and new, but is it true originality? When Avril Lavigne wore a tie when she performed, was she being orginal? Or was her sense of fashion influenced by the society that nutured her? We are the person we are today because of the events and experiences we encountered when growing up in our society. Our society itself influences what we wear, how we talk, how we dance, and more importantly, who we are as a person. So in a way, no matter what we decided to do that is new and differnent, it is not truely original (arising or proceeding independently of anything else), it has some influence by the society.

So who wore red authentic vans first? Who knows? Who cares? If you were the first one, all that means is that you were the first one. You weren't being original. It was bound to happen anyways. Our society brought about that kind of style. If you grew up in an African tribe, you wouldn't wear red vans. You wouldn't think anything close to sneakers. But man... think of it, if you're the first one, you'd be cool. Ha, everyone would laugh at you. Why? Cause that specific society doesn't see that as style. No matter how you like to think of it, you have your style because of your society, or media for that matter.

All in all, orginality is never orginal. It's just misused. But I mean, thats all in my head. I'm sure you have your ideas about the subject. For all I know, I could be completely wrong and stupid. If you think I am, then tell me. And this is all just ideas. Ideas are meant to be challenged. If you have a good rebuttal, then bring it. We will debate. We don't call it argument hour cause it sounds cute.
