No More: Cookie Cutter Un-original Brainless People

Okay people U r reading way 2 much into this My point in writting this was Not:

1. To say abercombie is unoriginal
2. To stero type people
3. To critize


My point in writting this was to explain
That people are molded by their surroundings!
That the normal people can get that way by being brain washed sometimes.

I can see both sides of the argument!
Please don't take this personally!

All I ment in writting this was to point out that most not all people do things to blend in so there don't stand out and become critize

Vaurien;

I apoligize if this offended you I ment no harm in writting it.
Please try to see from my point of view as I will try to see it from yours.

Lets not act childish (No offence casue i do it lotz)


Pretty Odd

Again no offense in writting it its just what I think think what u will.

I really don't want to start some big thing

So if u don't have anything nice to type,
Type nothing at all ;)

Any way thanx for you comments all the same it has given me to views on the subject witch a writer needs
Thanx;
Yours Always

Just because the "normal" people like a certain style doesn't mean they're not original. It just means that they're dressing how they want to dress and being themselves.
This, to me, seems like a kind of reverse discrimination. "Lets make fun of those people because they're not like us. They're not 'unique'"

I really don't want to cause some big thing about this, I'm just really having a hard time wrapping my head around it all.

They're copying everyone else, which is, in your opinion, stupid. Right?

Well, I like jeans, so I wear jeans. A lot of people wear jeans. Does that mean I'm stupid because I'm copying everyone else?

I'm just trying to understand, because I think it's strange and a tad hypocritical.

fiery words, AngelShadow. I'll even concede their valid (from your perspective). The problem is everyone sees things from their own particular vantage point. What makes yours MORE valid than theirs? You can rail against succumbing to the lowest common denominator, but who says you have the privilege of deciding what it is?

HEY!!! I'VE GOT A LOVELY IDEA!!! EVERYBODY JUST CALM THE HELL DOWN!!! ITS A FREE COUNTRY--THERE FOR--SHE HAS THE RIGHT TO SPEAK--FREEDOM OF SPEECH PEOPLE!!! SHEESH!!! AND BTW--THIS ISN'T MEANT TO TAKE OFFENSE---GET OVER YALLS SELF--AND GIVE THE CREDIT THIS BOLD FRIEND OF MINE DESERVES!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

There's something wrong with everyone.
At least the "brainless" kids wake up feeling pretty good about themselves. They might be born in molds, but they're obliviously happy.
That's more than I can say for the stereotypical "outcasts" you've described. That is, if we're merely going off on generalizations.

Because in that case, I would pick being normal every time. The normal kids don't complain about everything and beg for attention. They wear their abercrombie and shut up.

There is no solution when there are no problems.
Personal style says very little about one's personality. (minus whether or not one favors hygiene)

You aren't original for writing this.
Because there are a million other kids just like you thinking the same warped thing about a whole group of kids they don't really know personally.

You cause a problem by generalizing.
So thank you for further segregation.

This is a pretty good peom

And i will diffinetly read the other poem

ROCK ON!!!!!

Sweet poem!

I love it and I think that you are completely 100% right

drips of awesomness!

HAHA!!! YES YES YES!! THIS poem kicks ASS! I LOVE I LOVE IT! especially this line!

We aren’t the problem

Endless
Pollution

*votes up!*

Oh my god this was so awesome my socks just completely rocked off of my feet, seriously just flew into the wall. ok maybe not, but fantastic!

Okay Dokey Firstly
Thanx to all ya'll who posted
Second'ly to adress the hater posts
Praetty odd;

NORMAL IS BORING!
and if being 'themselves' is copying everyone else fine! But In my personal Opion its stupid!

Scaryslut;

I know they are not original cause they are to big of wimps to come out of the closet instead of being mindless abercombie wherein zombies!

A note about abercombie

I have nothing against it!
Okay so shut up with the post about kids who where it!
I was just sayin that a lot of the stupid barbie girls where it! Not all of them r like that though. Don't take it so persanal! gosh!

ANYWHO.... love ya all keep readin my stuff

ANGEL SHADOW ;)

Hm, I see what you're saying but how do you know the kids who wear abercrombie aren't original? As the old saying goes there's more to a book than its' cover. Don't let yourself stoop to the same level as those who judge you without first getting to know you.

NICE POEM

This has to be the dumbest thing i've read since i pissed my name into the snow...and read it...

Can you not see how twisted your reasoning is?

I'm over six foot, visibly tattooed and bearded. Oh yeah, and fat. I look like nobody i've ever met...
Yet i look like millions of other people on the planet.

There is no such thing as "unique". Not even close.

I could eat a bacon sandwich with a rabbi and taste less hypocrisy.

This is definitely going to sounde cliche, but it is so true. Every person is unique in their own way.. it's the truth! However, not everyone is going to stand out of the crowd. There are trillions of people on this planet. You cannot expect all of them to be crazy freaks. Anyway, outcasts and freaks are not always the happiest of people. (BUT I'm not saying they're all depressed.) Are YOU a crazy outcast? I mean come one! You are molded by your surroundings just like everyone else. It's impossible not to be affected. I bet that you are not much different from me or the other teens on this site (only in general, of course). This mindset is very hypocritical.

flippinthrulife17: You are correct... AngelShadow has the right to her opinion. She posted this poem to share her views; however, everyone on this site has the right to THEIR opinions also. Angel chose to post this poem; therefore everyone on this site has the right to compliment or criticize it. Nobody here has yet to say anything rude, so there is no reason to YELL!

"NORMAL IS BORING!"

Are you kidding me?! There is no such thing as "normal". I mean, who's to say what is normal and what's not? NO ONE. You know what? I consider myself and my life to be pretty "normal", but at the same time it's crazy and most likely totally different from yours.
Who said that YOU are not normal, huh? You? Wow, that's biased information isn't it?

OKay ya'll like I said are being way 2 personal! U guys don't have 2 like IT! Its my stuff you don't even have to read it! Jesus! SO SHUT UP! THIS WAS NOT MADE TO UPSET YOU!


-ANGEL SHADOW

Nobody here is getting personal. We are just all telling you what we think, is that a problem? It shouldn't be. And who says that anybody is upset?

You say - "THIS WAS NOT MADE TO UPSET YOU!"
But you also said - "You all look like clowns!" - "Brainless
Barbies and Kens" - "Un-original
Brainless
People"

And

"whats with all the stupid p[eople who are Preps and populars"

And as for - "Its my stuff you don't even have to read it! Jesus! SO SHUT UP!"

In your description you said - "COMMENT PLZ"... That's called asking for it.

Btw, nobody is "Hating" on you or your poem.
We're just pointing out that you are "Hating" on others.

Ahem. [pauses while the room falls silent]. You there ... that boy there - quiet please...

I can wait all day...

OK

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a poetry site. Not only that, it is a poetry criticism site (in the correct, wider meaning of the term).

So we post our poems, people comment, we respond, we learn, we grow, we write better poems, we post them - etc - virtuous cycle.

[stop fidgeting MonkeyBoy]

So while we may find fault in the content, structure, execution and form of a poem, it behooves us to comment respectfully - as I see many of you have done.

It also behooves authors to respond thoughtfully and, if at all possible, constructively, to criticism that is well intentioned.

I make no specific assertions here related to any particular comment or individual. I just happened t be passing and I heard a ruckus.

For your homework, find the worst poem you can find on this site and say something nice about it.

Thank you class - you are dismissed.

This poem is so verrrrry smart (:

[Telemachus, I agree.

(the worst poem on this site, I already posted on
But it's a rant about how stupid poems and the people who write them are, so the post definitely wasn't positive
So peoples, instead, find the SECOND worst poem)

Do you really care about if people like your clothes? The logical explanation for all this back-and-forth arguing nonsense (and you know it is) is that you care that people might have an extreme first opinion of you because of just that, and logically, you want to rant at a person (you think) you KNOW has an extreme opinion as such. However, are you any better for having an extreme opinion on their supposed extreme opinion?
And likewise, regardless of whether or not you think a person's comments are rude (I think many of them are, but I'm not saying who) it is as equally rude to comment on rude comments

(Sorry about being a hypocrite, there ^^^^)
(And there ^^)]

okay, now, back to the ACTUAL POETRY COMMENTING, you have a few too many grammatical errors to read this poem fluidly
however, i also find myself somewhere in between.
On one hand, I often look at people, and feel the same way
And then I look at people and hope they don't feel the same way about me... it sucks being in the middle

keep writing!

Ok, i had shushed like i was told...

[I din't fidget nor nuffin guv, honest.]

But as the only person being rude here was me - and not by mistake, if you wondered - i shall assume that the above blabber is aimed my way.

"Do you really care about if people like your clothes? The logical explanation for all this back-and-forth arguing nonsense (and you know it is) is that you care that people might have an extreme first opinion of you because of just that, and logically, you want to rant at a person (you think) you KNOW has an extreme opinion as such."

In short, no. I don't care a bit, i just have a habit of pointing and shouting "STUPID" whenever i see something stupid.

"However, are you any better for having an extreme opinion on their supposed extreme opinion?"

I don't have an "extreme" opinion, nor do i think this poem expresses an "extreme" opinion. Thinking something is stupid is hardly "extreme"...burning people at the stake...that's "extreme".

We done here?

Hmmmm .. I thought this was a Poetry site? When did it turn into
a place for people to air their political opinions and hatreds? Can't we all just get a long? :

Just one last thought: who cares in the end? Think about that ...life isn't about clothes, belongings, what this person or that person said ~

Okay guys yet another post on this hahha ha all I can say is LOL! like reading your comments is now just hysterical! in a good way

Weather you liked it or not its good that you commented so thanks to everyone....

I guess even you MOnkeyBoy ?


okay and umm just to tell you guys I was sort of like pissed when i wrote this now that I look at it I see parts that could be edited at least but the point is poetry mostly is about emotion this is just what I was feeling at the time.
So you know its ehat I wrote but anyway.
Thankyou again for your support and or critic on my work.
