It would appear so. I could never stand all the kids that were clones of each other in high school, that deliberately acted/talked/dressed the same (and listened to the same repetitive music) as each other just to fit in, so I didn't clone myself like them. But I didn't say everyone who doesn't think/dress/act like me isn't a nonconformist, because that's doing the same thing you're resisting. I guess if you had to push a label on me I was a punk, but I didn't just hang out with other punks. I liked who/what I like because I liked it, that was the essence of the early Sex Pistols mindset so many love to associate themselves with, that is nonconformity.
It seems like nowadays the Green Day generation love to conform to nonconformist views (by the way, why do followers of one of the most pop punk bands of all time dress in all black like they're hardcore)? How did the generation of real punks raise this pop generation? And do you think there will ever be real punks/punk rock again?
