You already are a step in the right direction for not wanting to be like 'everybody else'. Just be yourself, wear what you like and you will find others that do the same thing. Anyone who judges your clothing are insecure! Where I work we have every style imaginable and we all pretty much get along!

Go to a second hand store and buy some cool clothes that are a little out of the ordinary, make your own clothes, don't go to hot topic if you don't want the "poser" image. But you aren't a poser if that's truly how you feel.
I go to second hand stores all the time, and there are so many interesting styles to choose from, or at least materials.

Do what I do. I wear well fitting and nicely made clothing (fitted t-shirts, expensive jeans, jackets etc.), but with out words, logos, or designs that aren't either a pattern or random. I always look nice, and I fit into a crowd well enough without looking like I fit any certain stereotype. No one every makes fun of my clothing, just because there is really nothing to make fun of, I wear very average yet nice things. Try it.

dress how you want.
you are really only a "poser" if you are jumping on some fad bandwagon, or dressing/acting in some way because its "cool" or "in style" or whatever. its about being true to yourself.
as for punk, its more than how you dress. there are plenty of well dressed "punks" out there. its not just about spikes and blue hair.

For heaven's sake, my child, dress the way *you* want to. You don't need to go Goth or Punk. If you're comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt dress that way. If you like chains and ripped shirt, fine, dress that way. If some one gives you problesm simply tell them you dress for comfort not for style. It'll be odd enough and should keep them quiet. Blessings.

A good idea would be to be yourself.
If you like punk music (and I don't mean Good Charlotte), then be a punk. You don't have to get stupid piercings and have a mohawk to be punk, it's about the attitude, not the style.
