conforming is the new "black"

Margaret Drabble once said, "Our desire to conform is greater than our respect for objective facts." She was basically stating that people rather look in a conformist direction rather than rationalizing the actual good and/or bad of the popular way. Conforming has been a new up and coming "thing". many people find conforming as an interesting way of being different. People nowadays feel that by conforming it actually makes you a leader, but in all actuality it still makes you a follower. Since conforming has been the new thing to do everyone has hopped on the bandwagon on the road to conforming. People try so hard to stray away from the "norm" that a large enough group has actually made it impossible to be different.
