Yesterday, I looked through the comments of Netease Cloud Music "Riding a White Horse", and I was puzzled by the opinion of a netizen.

He wrote like this: "Red is not good" and loudly said to the so-called fans: Listen, "the sense of superiority of the minority" is the darkest existence on this planet.

I listen to a wide range of music content and themes, and I also listen to minority music, pop music and the most popular songs on a certain platform. As long as it was within the acceptable range of my eardrum, I spent several days with it safely.

So I don't have any special ideas about minority music, as long as it is what I like, does not conflict with my preferences, and conforms to my mind, I am full.

What is the "minority superiority" in other people's mouths? Why is it the "darkest" existence?

Zhihu's answer is mainly divided into two kinds. One is that the above answer contains derogatory meanings to show off oneself, and the other is the dialectics of the so-called minority: I don't like the minority, but I wait for the minority to become the public and be liked by everyone.

I quite agree with the view of answering the Lord and share it with you.

Is it a pity that the minority becomes the public?

This is not the case in some cases. Sometimes what you like is welcomed by more people, and you will feel gratified. For example, people who like to play basketball will not be disgusted because it is a mass sport, nor will they want it to become a minority sport. In this case, the increase of people who like playing basketball will not reduce the experience brought by playing basketball, but will improve it.

This is true in some cases. Take myself as an example, it is also a question and answer platform. I like Zhihu better than Baidu, not because Zhihu is a minority, but because Baidu knows that there are many people who seriously answer questions in Zhihu, but few people copy and paste answers. With the increase in the number of users, there are more users in Zhihu who don't answer questions seriously, and there are more users who swear. In this case, the increase in the number of users in Zhihu has reduced the user experience in Zhihu, and it is inevitable that Zhihu will become a mass. -Zhihu Zhao Xiaoyu

What about the so-called minority? A small number of people, what few people know and accept, are opposite to the public.

Why do minorities feel superior?

Because I am a "minority" group, others don't know or understand your knowledge, which is particularly different. In order to distinguish their own uniqueness. It can be talk on the road after dinner, or it can be an irrelevant occasion to show off your wealth. In short, the minority things have become the material sustenance to express their unique existence. Preference and choice are different from the world trend. The ego has a feeling of confusion, and the independence of individual existence is confirmed by its favorite minority. This may be what others call minority superiority.

Some people say that it is because the sense of superiority generated by a few people is the cheapest sense of superiority. When there is nothing that can make them particularly satisfied, they can only highlight their so-called "Kan Kan talks" capital with what they know on a small scale.

The signature of WeChat is "I am me, that is unique", which is a lyric in one of my favorite minority songs. There are few comments and few people listening, but I just like this song. Obviously, it is a song divorced from the public and the world, but it sings our derogatory optimism and positive energy about life.

However, it gave me strength, let me find an emotional sustenance and fight against the noisy world with me. If I feel anything, it is probably that I have a new understanding of the world and the power to charge forward. Where does the sense of superiority come from? Because you regard the "minority" as capital, show it off everywhere, and be exposed to the peeping eyes of others.

When you expose what you cherish to the sun, when you brag about it to others as an object, it has become a matter of superiority, and it is no longer that you pin all your feelings and troubles on the baby.

Of course, this is what others call the "darkest" point.

Maybe many people misunderstand the minority. The minority people don't choose to be minority people for the sake of superiority, but it just happens that this thing is minority, and I just like this thing. If my favorite minority becomes popular, it can only prove that I have a vision, that many people in the world feel the same way, and that I am not so withdrawn and annoying. But what I fear most is that you like it not because you like it, but because you are pursuing a niche. It is because many people follow the crowd after choosing a niche. Just out of pure love, there is nothing dark to talk about.

When I saw everyone cheering for Lenka, when she was known by everyone, and when unique was heard by many people, I could only think that it was finally discovered and recognized.

The so-called dark place is that you don't admit that the minority has its own position. In order to resist the "superiority of the minority", you chose the public to get rid of others' definitions and opinions of the minority.

Your love is just empty.

The darkest thing is that you become a person who points at others' backs and makes wild comments on others' preferences.

There is a minority in music, and there seems to be a minority in life. Ethnic cosmetics, ethnic cars, ethnic perfumes and ethnic groups. ...

When I was chatting with Xue Mei, I asked her what she thought of this problem. She mistakenly thought it was the spirit of Ah Q, that she was going to find something she didn't have, or that she comforted herself with her spirit.

What is the relationship between the superiority of the minority and the spirit of Ah Q?

On the dark side of a few people's sense of superiority, there may be an invisible spirit of Ah Q. The difference is that Ah Q uses self-psychotherapy, but they need a substance to carry their emotions and feel their "self-esteem" and "special".

There are also differences, that is, compared with niche for the sake of deliberate niche. They just put their energy into their own interests because they like it.

Is skateboarding a minority? When this new thing just appeared in front of people, most people didn't know it, didn't have time to learn it, or didn't want to get rid of it at all. This is a "minority".

But what about now? Walking in the square, one or two skateboarders can be seen everywhere, which has become a fashionable thing. It is undeniable that most people come into contact with this new thing because it is "cool", which is why we mentioned above to show ourselves and uniqueness, but it is also understandable. After all, everyone wants to have a sense of existence, at least not a shadow. What scares me most is that you don't practice well, showing off and bragging everywhere.

The standard to distinguish the two is simple, whether he likes it or not, whether he will give up one thing because of other people's opinions, and whether he can persist no matter how difficult it is.

The person you really like, the "minority" in his eyes looks like "the whole world".

Then we onlookers should stop pointing, all kinds of acid and spit, "niche" is not the reason for you to spray. It is the darkest thing to spray "niche" maliciously at will. Why can't people who insult others just by looking at what others have be said to be the embodiment of modern Ah Q spirit?

The minority has not yet developed a sense of superiority, but the pursuit of public contempt for the minority has first developed a sense of superiority.

Lenka has a song whose lyrics are "I am who I am, and this is unique". The theme of the lyrics is why should I be like this world?

I live in my own world.

"Minority" naturally reminds me of individuals. Can individuals be described as a "minority"?

Liu Yu's online buzzword "A person can also be a team", which can be a team, that is, a group. The number of groups determines the boundary between "the public" and "the minority", so a person is also a "minority" group.

Then in this respect, I still support the minority. Everyone has his own uniqueness, which is a cliche. Show the world who you are.

You are so different that you will regret not seeing it. If you just follow the trend, your vision will be limited to the public's vision. Especially for the mainstream to lose their favorite minority, it is the most lamentable. So give yourself a chance to become a "minority" and explore a self that you may not even know, a deep self.

Because not only did you choose the "minority", but many independent individuals did not want to be as mediocre as you and insisted on their own search.

Walking along the only road together, we will constantly meet people who have found themselves and me, a "minority" individual, and the "minority" attracts each other, leading to the present "public".

So don't be afraid to be different, because being different makes you unique.

Don't be afraid of the marginalization of the minority. Magnetic attraction will make the minority become a "public".

Look at Wei 'an's tweet and see that such a definition is just applied here:

Sometimes, I feel like an insignificant little water drop. Other water drops have swarmed into the nearby stream, but I still don't move. I want to enter that stream, too. I jump and jump, but I can't get in without crying. Looking back later, there was a pool of water beside me, and I became a dry water drop, waiting for the sun to take my life away.

But I saw a water drop standing beside me, who couldn't jump into the stream like me. Later, more and more water drops became bigger and bigger, and gradually became a stream, which would merge into the sea.
