That much is true. Notice how fashion has abso-fucking-lutely nothing to do with that definition of originality.

You assume that someone living originally has to buck the mainstream, but by laying those kinds of qualifiers on it, you are taking this originality idea and giving it boundaries. The definition I quoted has to do with living according to essence, and to say that such an essence must, ipso facto, be non-mainstream is false.
