The Conforming Non-Conformists

At Drexel, I have noticed four groups of people: jocks, foreigners, what I call the unique and different kids, and Greeks. The most easily stereotyped out of these is surprisingly to me the “unique and different kids”. They pride themselves on dressing different and wearing those nifty 80s sunglasses and bandanas in interesting ways. As usual, though, in their non-conformity they conform with each other. For example, I saw this kid on a fixed-gear bicycle with a pair of self-cut jorts (jean shorts). Jorts are a weird choice, so it fit the mold of U&D, but what made the whole thing is that his friend who met him was wearing a similar pair of self-cut jorts.
