non-conformist

Share definition
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."

Non Conformist

Share definition
A non conformist is someone who does not think, act, or behave in a way that could be classified as "normal" in their own social environment. Everyone can be classified as a "non-conformist" in some way because conforming is really someones perception of what is normal or acceptable. The more people who think, act or behave a certain way, the more "those" people feel empowered to tell you "their" way is "Normal". And since normal cannot be quantified, we each have to decide for ourselves to what degree we want to conform.
On mondays everyone wore blue, but Billy chose to wear red because he doesn't like blue, and everyone said he was a non conformist.

“…. Yeah - it seems to me that he is struggling within a straight jacket of conformity in his current role – he’s a real reluctant conformist

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.
