[kj] Post Punk

"as long as you're being individual and original."

       I ve quite often seen a big group of "individuals"..............All
wearing the same clothes...............Style and colour??????????Say
What!!!!!!
    But if someone wants to wear something thats not original or
individual,surely thats their prerogative.Why should someone have to wear
individual clothes ,Just to fit in?
