Back then, everybody rooted for the boy or the girl next door. They were the ones who were studious, courteous, kind and other good qualities that's associated with Mr. or Ms. Perfect. These days, people tend to root for the bad boy and bad girl, claiming they're more realistic. Unfortunately, the fascination with these kinds of role models are getting out of hand. This urge to be more mean and edgy reminds me of the song "No More Mr. Nice Guy" by Alice Cooper.
I guess think that being wholesome is boring at best and weak at worse. They think that if they put on a mean front that they'll get more attention. I've seen actors and actresses go from hero to villain. Guys put on more three-day beards and girls change their hairdos to look meaner. You start to wonder if this was the same person you knew.
My question for those who make the switch is is it worth it? Do feel comfortable with your new image or are you just trying to be something that you're not? If you're not comfortable, then ditch it because it's not you are and only by being who you really are can you really be recognized by others. In the end, you need not be too perfect nor do you to be too edgy. Just be yourself and everything will be alright.
