I feel that this poem discusses the feeling that society has about having to conform to what everybody else is doing. I know personally that all kids my age experience peer pressure. Everybody thinks they are an individual, but truthfully they are all the same.
The new identity kids personify is called being "hipster." To be a hipster, you must like things that no one else likes and dress like no one else dresses. You avoid anything "main-stream" or something that everybody has already heard about. The sad thing about our generation is that being hipster has now gone main-stream. So dressing the same weird clothes that original hipsters dressed in is now actually quite common and also the music that was once unheard of is now the coolest thing that anyone has ever heard. It is truly annoying.
I hope that people will eventually grow up and stop acting this way. Maybe someday we can all be our own person without the fear of being made fun off.
