Inconsistently-Daily Rant #4 (Contrarians)

So lately, fans of Wiz Khalifa have been bitching about his recent gain of exposure(like he wasn't famous already...). Just because one of your favorite artists become hyped up doesn't make them any worse of an artist. In fact, as a fan, you should be happy that he/she/them is gaining popularity. The fact that you are disappointed over their growing fame simply means that your initial fandom was solely based on the artist(s) being relatively unknown. However, I will acknowledge that certain artists do change their sound after new-found fame, ie. selling out; the Black Eyed Peas, for one. But I digress. This can be applied to the spread of a certain clothing style, activity, any product for that matter, and just virtually anything. Everybody strives for that sweet feeling of exclusivity all for a sense of superiority.


P.S. - But for you pitiful duds who blatantly shape your whole entire identity after one source/person/group, stop copycattin' and don't live your life as a mold, be yourself.
