But I dont understand how that would rule out individuality, if that were the case as that original statement then nothing I do is actually what I would like to do but what others have commanded to be done. Based on that, that would mean that I would only listen to the most popular artists, someone that everyone in this discussion would like (or at least should be commanded and demanded to like, ie, Hannah Montana), but that is not the case. Thus the original statement "devoid of any individuality" is not based on fact and is a wrong conclusion to make.
