So, one of the most influential songs in my life must be Minority, by Green Day. The song goes:

I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
Cause I wanna be the minority

Seems pretty usual punk stuff, nothing to original. Well, to my 5th grade self, this was the most awe inspiring amazing piece of artwork ever to grace my ears. The guitar. The bass. The drums. The sweet sweet rebelious yells. I thought it was fantastic. Ever since then, I've always tried to make myself a little bit different. I always thought of those 4 lines, and said, this moral majority, it isn't all that moral, is it? Does your opinion really have any authority over me? My parents always said I was like a fish swimming upriver during middle school. Well, I wasn't all that original, every punk kid has gotta go against society, but I took that ideal to heart. My main bands were Green Day, and The Clash. I thought I was the coolest kid. Now that I've grown out of that little phase though, I still hold onto that ideal. I work hard. I'm decently nice to my peers. School comes way before anything to me. I still feel like I'm the minority.
