Learning and applying the "popular conventions" is essential to building the skills that you want...It's comparable to how athletes will still do their base workouts in addition to playing in their own unique styles come game time, it hones and keeps the skills sharp while allowing for future growth...Shying away from convention before the base set of essential skills are established is only going to stunt your own growth and frustrate you when people don't like your work...
