How to Assimilate Into Popular Culture

It's a well known fact that Americans love to conform. It's our passion. Nobody really wants to be unique. Even the non-conformists conform to non-conformist ideology. There are a few people who set the standards for what we conform to. I have the privilege of being one of these. Today I'm going to offer a once in a lifetime opportunity and tell you what it takes to be just like me and by that same token, become one of the most popular people in society.
First off, ignore the latest fashion trends. Those ninny's in New York, Paris, and Milan have no idea what fashion is. Jeans and a t-shirt are timeless. Also, your shirt should never bear the logo of any company. By refusing to sport a company logo, you are showing that you are not a sheep and you have a mind of your own.
Second, refuse to watch any of the top rated television shows. This way, when all of your coworkers are discussing who got voted off of what, you can assume an air of superiority because you are above such mindless drivel. 
Also, immerse yourself in hobbies that are considered eccentric. This gives you the advantage of being considered outside of the norm today, but in the future you will be considered a visionary. Scrimshaw and parkour are excellent choices.
Comic books are timeless. Proclaiming your love for them will assure you the social separation so necessary for true popularity. Warning: You cannot fake this one. Sooner rather than later, you will be called to task on your knowledge of this subject. You cannot fool the experts. They will quickly expose you as a fraud if you fail to stand up under their scrutiny. Simply knowing that Clark Kent's middle name is Joseph, or that the names of the goats that pull Thor's chariot are Toothgrinder and Toothgnasher is not enough.
Avoid social interaction like a plague. There is no benefit to be gained in making yourself available to the public. In fact, they will admire you more for the fact that you hold yourself above them.
IT has taken me over three decades, but these practices have helped me reach the apex of societal popularity. It is only through diligent application of these practices that you can hope to raise yourself above the mundane masses to a level of prestige and admiration admired by few.
