conformity disguised as transgression pretty much sums up so much of the zeitgeist and modern culture--yet it's not the 'let me blend in' type of conformity of ye Olde pre-social media days, it is a desperate sweaty 'pls notice me and think im cool!!' type of conformity that doesnt get mercilessly mocked only because everyone's doing it.
