This song reminds me of Hedi Slimane. He sent it to a journalist as an answer once, and the lines,
"Since when was fashion a necessity
I don't see anything we really need
So why should I reinvent myself
When the world that I see
It will not change for you and me"
make this a very tongue-in-cheek choice indeed.
It's about not bothering to fit in with the rest of the world, a conscious choice not to change, because the world is rather nasty and not worth the trouble. Being yourself for all the wrong reasons, basically.
