I don't think folks buy that stuff to look special or unique, but instead to look "qualified". By that I mean they want to look associated or qualified with a certain lifestyle or status. By owning the token accessories/style, they are communicating where they want to be and what they are a part of.

It's like by wearing your fur tail buttplug, and striped knee-high socks to the grocery store, people know you use Linux (arch btw)
