There's nothing wrong with tripps. I can't stand the hatred they get. It's like they're hated for the simple fact that Hot Topic sells them. I own several pairs, but I didn't buy them from HT, I got them from thrift stores and the like. I like the cut, I like the feel. They're very comfortable and I wear them for years. They're a little cheaply made, but with any basic amount of sewing skills you should be able to make them last a life time.
That being said, I get what you say about feeling unorignal. I get the same thing, and I also get the 'gothier than thou' douches who rag on me for wearing them. Fuck those guys, if it's comfortable, and you like them, wear them.
You could also do what I do with tripps, mod mod mod!! I took my first pair of tripps I bought for 3 dollars at the Salvation Army, ditched pretty much everything on them I didn't like (all the chains, and neon-blue straps and whatnot) and put on some things of my own. I bought one that didn't even have a crotch and made a leather codpiece of sorts for it. It's fun.
