Just because a style pops up and gets big or has a bit of a folllowing, it does not automatically mean that you HAVE to do that style if you like it or not. If that was the case, everybody would have ditched manba for something else, or became hime gyaru when it popped up on the scene.
If you don't like a certain style, then you don't do it. Simple as that! I and a few of my gal friends didn't do hime style,or resort style, or alot of other styles that other people prefer or that are popular now.
I do like to play with my look a bit, but I mostly stick to rock style, banba,tsuyome(and manba on occasion these days.)and just go with what *I* like, not what a magazine "wants" me to do.
