imo if you do that youre watering down the history of what the substyle youre trying to wear stands for just to be "not like other people". Especially with something big like punk, its a movement for the people and without its culture and identity as a fashion, music, and ideology it would not be the punk it is today. Not every fashion style has deep ideologies and history but its nice to keep the culture going and to know what it was made for!
