there is almost 7 billion people on the earth... we are all following some kind of trend whether we know it or not. the idea of originality being at an all time low seems like queer logic however. for starters there is A LOT MORE people now that there was 30, 60, or 100 years ago, so that alone makes it harder to be 'original'. as time passes people like to look back and say 'look at those people, they were original', but in reality they were probably following a trend and just happened to be remembered. besides nobody recognizes someone for being original until is is trendy enough to be noticed.
