It's not clear to me what you're saying here. On the one hand it seems you think that individualism is a myth. We can't step outside society. When Westerners think they're being rebels, they're actually being conformist. That's your take on contemporary rock, isn't it? And yet, you take these Westerners to task for being conformist. Wearing jeans is bad, etc. So why is Western conformism bad and Japanese conformism good? Are you going to argue that it's because of Western conformism's bad faith? In which case, it's a non-argument, since all cultures develop self-serving theories about their own behaviour.
