Sarah VowellYou know you've reached a new plateau of group mediocrity when even a Canadian is alarmed by your lack of individuality.
About This Quote
A new group has entered the world and is supposed to be better than all the ones that came before it. The world is supposed to be a better place because of them, but when they're here it's not. It seems like all of their fun went into creating a new organization that is supposed to change everything for everyone. Unfortunately, when they're here it doesn't seem like they're having any fun at all.
They're in a group and they're all trying to fit in with each other, except there's no personality in the mix. People are all a bunch of in a group and in a crowd. Everything is boring and needs to be changed in order for it to be what "they" want it to be.
