People (usually emo/goth kids) who dress weird in order to distinguish themselves or express their identity. These people think that they are each a "beautiful and unique snowflake" (see the movie Fight Club). Believe everyone else are "conformists".

Plural: "Snowstorms" (large amount of Snowflakes in one area).

A malady affecting a significant portion of the world's population wherein the afflicted will demand special treatment, conduct themselves with a ludicrous, unfounded sense of entitlement, and generally make the lives of everyone around them that much more miserable.

The danger of this disease is that the sufferers rarely, if ever, know that they have contracted it, and continue about their merry way under the assumption that EVERYONE ELSE is the problem.

This condition, if left untreated, can radically alter the carrier's demeanor, to include any of the following: a complete devolution to child-like behavior, temper tantrums, and/or fits of narcissistic rage.

When confronted with an individual suspected of harboring Special Snowflake Syndrome, one's best course of action is to run away. Further attempts at educating the carrier on the reality of their condition (e.g., quoting Tyler Durden: "You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else.") will likely prove futile, and potentially hazardous to the informer.

A hybrid comprising of a snowflake, and a fish

A piece of media, especially mainstream, that gratuitously mashes together several random internet memes in place of being original or creative.

Meme parades are generally well received, earning praise far beyond their merit, because they place esoteric internet culture in front of the public at large, thus making heavy internet users feel like a beautiful and unique snowflake for being part of an in-joke (albeit an in-joke with several million people in on it).

The idea that we are all basically the same.We are not unique.Most of us are shit out into this world, into a middle class suburbia, we go through school,perhaps even college, and then we work.We live in the same old type of shitty suburb we grew up in, and have two shitty kids and work for the rest of our lives.We are not talented.We get lucky.If you're patient,you can acquire some sort of ability, but you can't just use that talent to go somewhere better.It's all chance. You may be an excellent guitar player, but you may play in shitty clubs for your whole life without getting recognized. Life means nothing.Life is pointless. Society wants us to not question and work until we die.
