Get the conformist mug.A non-conformist is someone so obsessed with being different that they go to great lengths to avoid social norms; typically, you can identify them in a shopping mall because they all dress alike, listen to the same non-conformist music, and read the same non-conformist literature.
As it happens, it is also non-conformist to have any sense of self-awareness or irony beyond surface-level sarcasm and "snark".

"Who the hell are those guys?"
"They're the non-conformists."
"How can you tell?"
"Because they've all got blue hair and nose-rings."

Get the non-conformist mug.One who reluctantly decides to adhere to societal or commercial norms in order to further their own , family or associates ends.
One who suppresses their yearning for self determination, freedom or rebellious nature in order to survive or simply gain advantage.
EG. You may join a government or military department but you will have to conform to a strict code of behavior. In return you get job security , regular salary , maybe even job satisfaction and a certain societal standing.
Reluctant conformists can sometimes be a prime example of joining a system in order to change it from the inside. Often times this is the most strategic way to bring about change.
I this case the Rebel , the entrepreneur still lurks beneath the veneer of conformity.
