New year celebrations are conformism. I go to sleep at 10pm like everyday.

It is conformist because it is done unconsciously, but it's cool to celebrate stuff.

I said it tongue in cheek 

Happy New Year!❤️

Posting examples of conformity on this thread is ironically becoming a conformity.

Accents - I realised as a kid moving around that the fine motor control of vocal cords, tongue and nasal passages that produced different accents in the same language are copied unconsciously between people. That opened my mind to how unoriginal most thought is, including my own.

Responding to threads is conformity, too.

@MuadDib Not sure if accents really qualify for conformity. Some people’s accents go so deep they have no ability to speak without it. Might as well say that all of language is conformity at that point.

I agree if you mean adapting to a local accent when moving around, though.

@Vali2003 All of language is conformity, you didn't come up with English yourself. Accents are a level deeper...

Extending conformity to language in general makes it unclear what conformity means.

Would you say conforming to knowing language, and conforming to drinking red-wine, even if you find it disgusting, is the same thing?

Sportswear. I mean running shoes I get but some people push it too far for sure.

@mmKay

Actually, running shoes like above is the worst kind of conformity. Everybody wears them now.

Would you know English without conforming to everyone else who does?

And who doesn't find red wine disgusting? People drink for its effects. The chances of initially creating and discovering wine on your own and convincing yourself to drink it are slim, as with all originality.

@MuadDib Of course you could argue that it’s some sort of conformity. What I tried to say with my previous post is that conforming to speaking a language vs. something like acting as though you like redwine even though, in truth, you have to represss your urge to puke every time you take a sip  — and yes there are thousands of people who say they love redwine — are two very different things. So maybe it doesn’t make so much sense to call both ‘conformity.’

People say they are very comfortable. I have ON Cloud though, much more stylish and beautiful than these odiosities.

@Alexop Could be. I think the high heel increases the risk of ankle injuries so I wouldn’t wear them but I don’t doubt they’re comfortable.
