How can you rebel in a society where everything is packaged?

Most teenagers these days are not rebellious anymore, only very few of them are and those are called weirdoes or stupid. From what I have seen, people adopt the rebellions later on in life. More people become rebellious after their teen years, when they are supposed to be rebellious, not copiers.


Personally I don’t think teenagers are rebellious anymore, not these days. All they do is copy those who they think their cool. That is their rebellion. Although some of them are being what they think “rebellious” by their interpretation of those copied styles. There are very few teenagers that are being rebellious, meaning, they do everything their way, no matter what others are saying, if possible, they’d do it exactly the opposite. For example, when a rebel goes and buys a pair of jeans or a t-shirt, they buy something that no one else would buy or something they like and then they’d go home and change that thing. Write things on it, rip it away, or adding new stuff, like adding pockets they would ever use, but they like the idea and know that no one else would do that and also, others will call them weird or stupid.

Teenagers today, are copping styles of whom they like or fancy and try to do it their way. The way they interpret someone else’s style and make it their own, could be qualified as being rebellious, but it’s nothing original, everyone does that. A lot of teenage girls are fans of Hanna Montana who is a 16 year old famous star. Today, all teenagers who like her and are fans of her, are copying her, are wearing nice clothes, height hills, lipstick, hair bandanas, and all sorts of accessories. Most wear their down as she does, and doing all sorts of things like her, thinking their rebellious because they got to choose whom they like.

Growing up, maybe in college, you as an individual, don’t depend on your parents anymore, you get to choose if you go to classes or not, you are basically on your own. That is when people usually realized what silly individuals they were during height school, when they were copping the popular kids, or the famous singers. In college, they kind of realize that is them they are talking about and they way of seeing things. They start doing everything their way. If they don’t care about education, then they just go out get drunk, not carrying about anything else but having fun, how much fun a rebel, who is usually a loner, can have, if they care about school and the money and everything else, then they would just go to classes and decide what they want do with their free time. In college they start to buy things and then modify them until they like it, when they get to the level of all heard turned because people like or dislike what they have, that thing they made themselves, then they will stop either destroying the cloth or modify it.

Teenagers are not rebellious anymore, but those who are, usually wear black make up, unusual clothes because their modified, do everything their way, not care for anymore or anything and don’t listen to anything others tell them. Teenagers that are not rebellious, are copiers, they copy what they like and make it their own. Young rebellious come in later, in their 20-30’s when they decide what to do and how to do, but those that are rebellious, usually end up having nothing, but the memories of wasting time, or not caring, just having fun.
