1. In this piece, Pattie is trying to find out if authenticity exists within some of the most memorable moments in Rock music of the 1990's. He tries to research why the rockers created these moments, and if they really prove their authenticity, or if it is just an act for the public.
2. The author uses the story of band member Ritchey of the Manic Street Preacher, who carved the phrase "4 Real" into his arm with a razor blade to prove their authenticity to a critic.
3. I think in today's world, with people my age especially, it's more about fitting in than being authentic. It's all about a brand name, a haircut, or a car that you have that everyone else either has or wants also. And on top of that, authenticity can really stand for individualism. Someone who wants to be authentic would go out of their way to oppose the norm of teenage culture, meaning crazy haircuts, clothes, and attitudes.
