Popularity is a popular choice.
A popular choice follows the direction of the populous.
Whether that is positive or negative is a personal choice.
When people choose the same choice or direction it is popular.
A popular direction to follow is in agreement with the majority of people.
Popularity has no conflict with the general populous.
Following the choice of others is not always popular with me.
It is the direction of my perspective that is either popular or not.
It is my perspective that is either similar or not.
My perspective, my direction & my choices determine my popularity or not.
