A term that seems to be largely skewed on this website.
A nonconformist is NOT a goth, and is nothing like it. Goths are conformists, as they are conforming to being goths. There are no 'group considered nonconformists' because that doesn't make sense. A nonconformist is simply someone who doesn't like the social groups he lives around, so chooses to stay out of it. These people will normally be wearing random articles of clothing, sometimes or often provocative that wouldn't actually put someone into a 'group'.

Tim wore a tight T-shirt and a jacket to school today. Yesterday he had a plain T-shirt of a random band name on it that had no similarities to the one worn today. Regardless, he was still ridiculed by self -proclaimed geniuses on the internet who said that he would HAVE to conform, no matter what.

The latest trend in pop culture, seen heavily in examples of Emo. Nonconformity itself is to be your own person, and to shun the local trends and live for yourself.
Of course, these days everyone is a nonconformist together: not listening to classic rock together, not wearing regular clothes together, and not loving your perfectly fine life together.
Yet, there shines a glimmer of hope, for there are a few true nonconformists out there, the ones who do what they want, whether or not someone else likes it. Unfortunately, these people are usually seen as nerds, and are quickly dismissed. Of course, the nonconformist doesn't care at all.

Pop Nonconformist: Let's go do something different for a change, cuz I know everyone else will love me for it and think I'm cool!
True Noncanformist: I'm gonna go spraypaint a tomato on my ass, and I don't care what you think.

I'm a nonconformist, just like my friends! By consciously avoiding the status quo, I've created a new one!

Someone who is smart enough not to follow the latest fad whether it be clothes, products, labels, games, websites, and does not care what others think.

A contradictive word. By not conforming to one thing you are in turn conforming to something else. All of you people who think you are a rebelling nonconformist never thought of that, did you?

a person who does what they want, not what society wants and doesnt care about fashion, vanity, others opinions etc. nonconformists arent emos. NOT EMO, emos are anticonformists,who are annoying, and are actually just conforming to something else, and should be exterminated. anyone with an education beyond the 4th grade knows this.
prep/conformist: OMG, lik lets totalllly go out and parteeeee!!!!!!!111
emo: if your going to a party, im gonna go home and cut myself and feel sorry for myself.
nonconformist: im gonna go and get a smiley face tatoo on my ass because i want to.

A person who refuses to be a "conformist sheep", but usually just ends up conforming to a different standard than most people. In the 1950s, the "nonconformists" were the beakniks, in the 1960s there were hippies, in the 1970s freakers came along, in the 1980s punks and goths emerged as the new standard of nonconformity, etc.
STAN: "How do I become a nonconformist?"
GOTH KID: "You have to dress the same way we do, and listen to the same kind of music we like."
