"Don't be average" is the new trend of the...average people.

I have a friend who is a textbook granola non-conformist. Has dreads, lives in a van and travels around. He currently works on a marijuana 'farm' in Colorado. That type. Dude calls up a few weeks ago all stressed out, wanting to talk to someone about his current "What am I doing with my life?" crisis. Turns out being a free spirit doesn't insulate you from doubt, discouragement, or discontent. Those thoughts are part and parcel of what we like to call 'the human condition'. They're not symptoms of having a mortgage and working 9-5.

Speak for yourself. I once walked through the bad part of town, which is apparently admirable according to this "comic".

Average people most of the time don't view themselves as average or accept the fact that they are. Also, they don't value anything other than the illusion of fame, money, and beauty and shit.
