As thau wilst...
Maybe word 'strange' seems better for you? Though strange is somewhat state of mind like, not just action or consequence.
Different... Yea. I guess it's a rather trendy thing, but it doesn't degrade it's value. Maybe it changes, but not for worse... I guess... :)
I believe it's not hard to be different in good sense. It's mostly enough to stop adapting/copying/simulating... :)
What DO you like?
