Comfort in Identity

How do you as an individual assert yourself from the crowd?

I can see these days that everyone is following the likes of Lupita Nyong'o and Nandi Mngoma with their very interesting 90's throwback haircuts.

We speak of how we are individualists when it comes to style and fashion, yet we are still followers, always waiting for someone brave to pull something and then all of a sudden we are also pulling the same style.

Are we a generation that is pulled by the nose easily, by celebrities even?

Or are we ones who explore and experiment because we are brave, oh and don't get me wrong, I'm only referring to style here, nothing else.
Teenagers all around the world have gone crazy trying to imitate the coolest celebrities, people like Miley Cyrus who have created a world-wide move of traditional(what we are used to) dressing to a new age of rebellious and revealing outfits. 

Who are we? 
Do we find comfort only when we feel like we look good because we look like some famous person and forget about the we that we really are?

Where did the I am go?
