Before you started to read this post, I warn you: this post is a little bit controversial. That's why if you're close-minded, easily offended or annoyed, you SHOULD NOT read this post. Consider yourself warned.
I have a branched mind lately, and I need to let go the one which is not so important--to keep me sane. I chose to write it down on my blog because it allow to write more words than any other social media and more private--you can't read this post and just confront me if you don't admit that you open my blog by your own initiative. You might ask, then why didn't you write on a diary or something? Because I need to share it somehow, I want someone to actually read it even someone who has nothing to do with my problem. It's not going to be vivid, but if you look closer or you actually know the problem you'll get poked inside, because some things is obvious.
You know the word 'mainstream' is overused these days? There is something called bandwagon, and MOST people loves it. But, there is also this bunch of people who hates something that other people like and it's automatically make them 'anti-mainstream'.
HA. This is the funniest part.
Ironically, being anti-mainstream is become a bandwagon. That's the reason why you can see a lot of hipster posts on tumblr or weheartit or whatsoever social media with girls in messy bun drinking Starbucks. Anti-mainstream is another mainstream. Now, what the hell is the connection between this nonsense talks about mainstream with my problem?
I got nothing against anti-mainstream, seriously. So, when bunch of people loves this British boy band, I don't like them. That's enough to make me a little anti-mainstream right?
The problem is this: is something that's mainstream always good? (Because everybody loves it), but then being mainstream seems like a bad thing (since the anti-mainstream becomes mainstream), so is it really that bad?
Things are turn upside down because people changes their perspective. The thing is, they stuck on the label. At first, being mainstream is a good thing, people loved it, but come the anti-mainstream and everybody labeled it as a bad thing. Time passed, then they tried to be more open-minded and see things in different point of view, so they decided that anti-mainstream is not bad, being mainstream and be the same is boring and, as you might guess, they labeled it as a bad thing.
So what will happen? Whenever they see something mainstream they'll say that it is a bad thing, while whenever that see an anti-mainstream things they'll say it is a good thing.
Did you get it? If not, I'll go with another example.
If there is a conflict between a rich guy and a poor man, what will people impulsively conclude? Yes, the rich man is the one who is wrong. Why? Because rich guys usually do bad thing, don't them? So people conclude things like that with no evidence. Because such a theory exists.
Please note the sarcasm in the next 2 example:)
If there is an accident between a car rider and pedestrian, what will people recklessly conclude? Yes the car rider is guilty. Why? Because the pedestrian couldn't passed across the road carelessly even though there is car with high speed running over him DUH.
If there is a problem between the majorities and the minorities? Who is the guilty one? Obviously the majorities because they always step on minorities, aren't they?
What I want to say is such a theory is a HUGE MISTAKE. You CAN'T jump into conclusions based on those nonsense label. You CAN'T judge the one who is right by only knowing one side of the story. You CAN'T just accepted a lie and claim that someone is right just because you adore them, like them, are a fan of them, are a best friend of them, or are a family of them. Truths are exact and objective to everyone.
What will happen after people poorly judge them as bad/guilty? Everything they do is wrong. But, when the 'right' one did the exact same thing, people will give them 1000 excuses. Yeah, what a fair world we lived in.
Truths are exact, that's why you can't be 100% right in a conflict, even if you're not the one who catch the fire, you always take part on making things worse. I know that, it's just the way people react bother me and I just want to tell them my opinions about it. No matter if someone is rich or poor, if they're pedestrians or car rider, if they're majorities or minorities, you can't conclude things just by those names. You don't know the whole story so don't act up like a hero trying to save the day (when what you did was just supporting your fave side). You'll end up like an annoying dummy just saying. Oh, and don't act up like you're neutral because God knows you're not.
Ah, I've never written such a serious post:)
