Conformity

Conformity is any alteration in behavior or belief due to the perceived pressure of a group. Conformity does not necessarily entail acceptance of the change, it can be either your belief or behavior that changes, and it doesn’t necessarily mean that both are changed.

In this picture the person is dressed like a “goth”. A gothic person is someone who wears all black and sometimes puts white makeup on and usually have died their hair black as well. Lots of gothic people are high school students who are trying to rebel against their parents and trying to establish their own uniqueness. Many gothic people wear shirts that sport the motto on it “you laugh at me because I am different, but I laugh at you because you’re all the same”. This mindset is self-defeating because most Goths look alike, they all dress the same, and they all hang out together. Gothic people are trying to be “non-conformists”, but ironically conform to being a “non-conformists”.
