No one in this thread has been able answer this one question - why? Why should people attempt to look different? To appease the hipsters who think, both here and irl, that by looking different you somehow are different, for example more creative? To appease the fashion police who think that only uniqueness counts as beautiful? It is just asserted at the beginning of the thread that looking like other people is not optimal, and there has been no attempt to explain why.

I disagree on a fundamental level that there is any need to look different from others. Of course people can look different, but to insinuate that it makes a difference is just boosting one's ego.
