Do YOU support individuality?

I strongly support individuality (being an Individualist Feminist and all). I hold people accountable for their own individual actions, not the actions of a group, (as defined by sex, race, nationality, religion, etc), and feel that people are defined by their individual actions far more than labels. If this means someone wants to act out in a particular fashion for attention or to exclaim "individuality," that is their business. For individuals, however, such as Goths and Emos who decry conformity, I find their behavior humorous in that they say they don't want to conform, yet conform to a standard on "unconformity." They dress the same way, read the same material, listen to the same music, and anyone outside their group is "conforming to the evils of mainstream" or, in reality, simply NOT conforming to their definition of individuality.
