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".

Get the non-conformist mug.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.
