No Picture brian Average	#1 by brian olofson at May 5, 1980 at 9:01 PM EST
	i dont get it, why is it such a good thing to be a freak and not "conform"? Aren't you just conforming in a different way? It's not like its being original, there arent many truly original people left. I emulate and copy celebrities and models and like to be in the "in crowd". Sure i follow the fashions and trends. But being "grunge" is still following a trend, its still emulating and copying other people. You say your so happy to not be in the in crowd and be a "freak", well if that's what works for you then thats great. But you cant sit there and say that people who just happen to follow a different trend are any worse then you are. It's not that you dont want to be like anyone else. You want to be like the losers cause clearly you see them as truly being the cool ones. At the end of the day everyone wants to fit in somewhere. That's why the freaks stay together and the in crowd stay together. So i'll go off and listen to my house music and wear my high end fashion and go to clubs, and you can sit in your black clothes inside listening to music that makes you feel like its ok to be down on yourself. Its all good in the hood bro. Just dont be down on the in crowd because you disagree with them, or say their clones or dont know what real music is or real feelings or whatever. Cause its not like that. When you accept everyone for being who they are and stop trying to be different or rebel then you'll be happier, accept yourself, sweeeeet bruddah. dont wear white to my wedding bitch yeowwww

No Picture Token Rhythm Player	#2 by Token at Apr 26, 1981 at 7:53 PM EST
	I find it curious someone else quoted Radiohead. I always get those songs mixed up a tad, start singing "body and soul, I'm a creep". Try it, you'll see. About being different. Easier to understand in the light of the Chair's abrupt success, even while they were still not popular at school, yet they'd gone platinum. Amusing.

No Picture Lenny Ramone Wanna Be	#3 by Lenny Ramone at May 26, 1997 at 5:33 AM EST
	This is a great song!! Sarcaism is one of the best forms of humor. "Yeah, I'm a freak of nature " THe sinfer is labaling himself a word used by society to label people who are different to normal. He then attacks those people by saying "If only I could be as cool as you" this is the joke. Daniel is proud to be individual and makes a mockery of those people who are sheep or as he puts it "cool"
