| − | The '''Conformist Rebellion''' was a movement created in [[2005]]. This movement represented the ideals that teenagers have continually rebelled against everything mainstream until no one followed the mainstream. People began to categorize themselves as [[Emo (slang)|Emo]], [[Goth]], [[Punk rock]], etc. all of which are made up of the same ideals and only separated by styles of clothing and music. Based on Conformist Rebellion ideals, today's mainstream has become the act of rebelling, and thus by conforming and not rebelling, one is rebelling from the mainstream of rebellion making them Conformist Rebels. |

| − | Conversely, it could be argued that everything is now mainstream. There is no one standard to conform to, yet no one standard to react against. While this is a major dichotomy, it could be argued it shows how easily co-opted most youth movements have become over the years. Even [[Aristasia|Aristiasians]] have argued that this is "the doctrine of The Cardbaord enemy" in action. In effect, the old conformity has been replaced by several new ones. Even these new models of conformity are in conflict with each other, despite being part of the same thing. They argue that a [[counter culture]] is a contradiction in terms, as it goes against all culture. The Confromist Rebels believe that these minor conformities contradict eachother on an extreme scale. |

| − | In The [[sitcom]] by Cult humourist [[Chris Morris (satirist)|Chris Morris]], [[Nathan Barley]], one of the characters (A journalist called Dan Ashcroft)writes an article on the conformity of the so called "[[avant-garde]]". He writes that: "They are blind to the paradox of their uniform individuality." We see shots of these media types in ridiculous attire and riding tiny bicycles as Ashcroft's voice over plays. |
