conformity
Conformity is the act of 'blending in with the crowd' or emulating the actions of another individual, group, or belief system. Conformity can be linked to a
fear of rejection or the presence of apathy in a person.For instance, in a school-system, different social
sects will conform to a certain style of clothing or behavior in order to fit in with a certain group. Conformity is also a part of conversation. In our daily lives, we will consistently conform to the opinions and ideas of other people. Conforming to the idea of another doesn't necessarily mean agreeing with something they say that you don't believe in, but it can be, and this is where the negative side of
conformity comes from.In conversational conformity, one can sit back and watch while someone they like/befriended is being attacked or even join in. This example of negative conformity is often found in schools and in the workplace. The desire for acceptance drives people to offer negative information about another person in order to fuel their conversational
counterpart's drive for drama.

Something that
hipocritical and annoying people run around and bitch about, usually because they are still bitter and pissed off about not
fitting in with the majority of their society. Of course, all of their actions are based on the actions of another, since it is impossible to base an action on something you have never seen before. And if you really weren't a conformist, you would create all your own clothes, speak your own personal language, play and listen to only your own music, and invent unique foods to eat. Oh wait, you would still be a conformist, because you would be
basing your anti-conformity on the widespread bitching about conformity.

To do what everyone else does.
Also a word thrown around by whiny ass teens who r too obsessed with what everyone else is doing and trying to do the opposite to be real. Wich in a funny twist all there
whinny ass friends are doing the same thing so they’re being different by being the same as there little equally
sheepish friends. SO DEAR GOD STOP CARING ABOUR IT AND PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STOP CRYING YOUR MASCARA IS RUNING YOU
WHINNY LAME ASS.
Example:
there realy isn't any relivant examples besides the people of north Korea other then that the words just being missused by
whinny ass teens. The north Korea example doesn't even
actualy work because i assume because of the
propaganda machine (all news programs) there is guns 2 everyones head.
whinny teen: look at all the conformity everywhere it makes me sick and want to kill my self.
Me: please do you anouying little shit.

Conformity
by Dr. Reedman on Oct 16, 2003 21:49:24
The tendency for all human beings to atttempt to belong to a group of people,
by any means necessary, in order to feel secure and wanted. Conformity is displayed particularly well by
weak-minded individuals who fear loneliness, and when alone feel too afraid to stand up for themselves. Conformity is allowing anything other than your own true desires to influence your decision making. Conformity is what
separates the true individuals, who are oppressed and hated, from everybody else.

To do something just because someone else or a group of people are doing it
Most
gothic teenagers don't want to conform but end up doing so by
dressing all the same.
