hmmm... it's possible that im getting a bit lost in the definitions, but... i think that if i'm doing something that is right for *me* then it's not so much a matter of the term that someone else might apply to it. when i've done what has come down to jumping on bandwagons of things that were right for me, it has worked out well, and my expressions of joy in the activity that was new to me has at times infectious to others around me who hadn't heard of that thing (e.g. folkdancing, which has been in new england and in the world for a few hundred years, but only became meaningful to me in an enduring way in 1994; i think this was early as compared to some now-peers who started dancing after me, but some of my now-dance-friends were dancing when they were teens, well before i was born). at other times i've tried to follow a trend that wasn't right for me, and i probably ended up hanging out in it for too long for my, or anyone else's sake before figuring that out. or maybe i'm misunderstanding the question?
