As per the Normcore Manifesto [1], refusing to try rebel when society encourages you to really is the greatest form of rebellion.
"If the rule is Think Different, being seen as normal is the scariest
thing...
Which paradoxically makes normalcy ripe for the überelites to adopt as their own, confirming their status by
showing how disposable the trappings of uniqueness are. The
most different thing to do is to reject being different all together.
When the fringes get more and more crowded, Mass Indie turns
toward the middle. Having mastered difference, the truly cool
attempt to master sameness."
