There's nothing wrong with just being you, so don't think that at all. But there is 'being you' and then there's trying too hard to fit in. Often people use the 'I'm an individual' as an excuse just to be cool - I remember when I was a "Mosher", a stereotype often used within schools but my mum always told me "You're different, be proud of who you are" and I believed that at the time because there was only a few of us who decided being normal wasn't cool.
But by trying to be an individual this can lead you to be like everybody else within society. Yeah you might think that nobody else has the same shoes as you but guaranteed somebody, somewhere will and in a few months - so will everybody else.
Music plays a big part in society and often causes conflict with certain cliques and different age groups, listening to music nowadays means it's nothing special as everybody has heard it once or twice before. This doesn't particularly mean that you are not an individual but just so that it doesn't come as a shock to you when you show your friends a new album you've bought - they may have already heard it before you.
Don't follow the crowd of individuals, be yourself and only yourself as I have learnt with many years of ups and downs. I can only advise...
You may seem that you're left out but surely that's a good thing?
