Yeah, no doubt. we look for ways to be different, we are a tribal people. (I agree with whoever said that earlier) Religion is one of those ways we divide, but we are pretty good at dividing along any and every line.

en, yet many seem to still want to be part of a group. i don't really see much individuality, just less popular groups. its funny when someone thinks their different becuse of an uncommon dress style or the like, exspecially when theirs 5 of their friends dressed the same way. if your part of a counterculture then your still part of a culture. its the group thats different, not neccassarly each of its members. the most individual people seem to be the ones with friends not like them. i think people tend to hang around similarity and seek renforcement of what they consider desireable of themselves. thus most people seem to have most of their friends similar to themselves, or so it seems to me. its just a search for security, i can't think of anything less secure then that of security by similarity. if anything differences can go a long way into the positive.
