The whole world sticks to its twisted and senseless ideals for reasons unknown to man. Most people will follow the system fearing to break out of it. And keeping that system in mind, those who break off from it will unknowingly fall into the same trap of a different system. People who try to bring down the system are not really destroying the concept of a closed system, they are just aiming to replace the current system with a different one. Agreed, the new system might be better than the old one, but sometime or the other each system reaches a stage of saturation and irritation where the next generation will want to bring it down.
No system can last everlong and solve all the problems. Each system has its drawbacks which become apparent over time, and once these drawbacks and flaws are out in the open, the new generation wants to break the system to be viewed as non-conformist by their peers. Thats the irony of the situation, people brand themselves as being against the system, while in reality the only thing they are doing is following a different system. Maybe "against the dominant system" is more fitting, but that still makes a person a conformist for a different ideal. Being non-conformist is just an illusion, and being truly non-conformist means being truly alone in your ideals.

The problem is, most people will try and break out of the system only to be viewed as non-conformist. Such individuals do not believe in the concept of a new system, they just want to break away from the current system so that people view them as "hip" or "cool". Lately I've noticed that the number of such "posers" is going up manifold. Its become a sort of affliction to want to break the system. And most of these people don't realize that they are becoming the sheep of a different herd. The only thing different is the scenery, not the freedom.
The world is ever-changing. And what was unique a few years ago becomes mainstream soon. The newer generation finds something else to call unique and that quickly becomes generic. Thats how trends go, once something becomes overly popular is becomes generic, and the next generation hates what was generic before them and they start flaming it. Within the next 5 years people will start flaming Google like they flame Microsoft right now. What will never change is the "in thing" factor. It will always be the cool thing to do, to rebel against the system. Even though it is temporary and nearly non-existent, Non-conformist is ever-cool.
