I'm not saying that everyone who dresses differently from the "straight crowd" do so in order to catch everyone's eye; but most of them have no interest other than being original, guess it makes them feel special; but I bet if you actually walk up to these people and ask them why they dress that way, they won't have any genuine reasons to. How many people who wear an Anarchy symbol on their shirt know what Anarchy actually is?
You know, maybe I just don't need to express my opinions everytime I decide to go for a walk. If wearing clothes that let people know what I'm like means they'll just take me for granted, then I don't want to give them the satisfaction of thinking they have gotten to know me by taking a look at my style.
Now hey, that's just my view on it; take no offence ^^' It differs from yours but I think that's something I can manage to live with xD! So let's be cool about it.

Yeah I agree with that, there are a lot of people at my school who just basically go around in a big gang copying each other xD I should probably ask them why they dress that way, and like you said they wouldn't be able to tell me! The annoy me though, gah -_-=
Anyways, before I start ranting about them
Primarily I want my words and actions to represent who I am, and they do. I don't care what randomers on the street think of me, or need them to know what I think. I just wear clothes that look good, suit me, and yeah I dress regarding things I like so I suppose it is a reflection of myself. You said you pick clothes because you bascially like them, so your clothes are your personal taste, and you can't escape that. Dressing a certain way doesn't mean they instantly know everything about you, it's never like that >.< But no matter what you do, people WILL and DO judge you on your looks. Personally, I don't conform to that, and obviously you don't either, but some people do. I wasn't talking about me personally too much, just trying to figure out reasons why a person might dress in that way in Harajuku, because I can't imagine it's all just for attention.
