Do people actually think looking "unique" is cool?

Terrible outfits, ripped clothes, long wide jeans that gets stepped on while walking. And when you ask them they say that its "designer" or "custom". It's not on me to judge them I know, but what are the reasons people think these look cool? Is this the fashion now? They even ask me why do I wear skinny jeans? Dude they are skinny jeans.
