A person who goes on about how s/he is incredibly against stereo-types (generally by shopping at Hot Topic, fancy that) and prefers to hang in the company of other 'non-conformists,' while they live in the facade that they're a special and different from everyone else. However, in reality, when you look upon a crowd of self-proclaimed non-comformists, you really don't notice any signifigance between them. So, in simple terms, all the non-comformists looking to look different, all look the same.
Non-comformists love their conformity.

Get the non-conformist mug.A person who likes to think they are a rebel by hating the more popular people in schools. Often accusing people of being arrogant, though they themselves are arrogant because they believe their thoughts are more important than others. They often complain about labels and people sticking other people in labels, and then they label others like preps by saying all preps are blonde or shop at A&E. "Non-Conformists" often seem to be goths, rebels with out a cause, or other forms of losers. "Non-conformists" do exactly what they claim not to, they conform to the idea of non conformity. Stop crying cause you want to be unique, everyone has to conform to something so just pick one and stop crying!
Non-Conformist: I sit at home, cry and complain about conformity on the internet on saturday nights.
Other Person: That's stupid.
Non-Conformist: What ever Prep! Why don't you go back to the Abercombie store!

Get the non-conformist mug.con·form
1. to act in accord with the prevailing standards, attitudes, practices, etc., of society or a group: One has to conform in order to succeed in this company.
2. to be or become similar in form, nature, or character.
A nonconformist, you would think, is the exact opposite of that definition. That would be implied by the prefix "non".
A nonconformist would not act like a certain group. They would not conform to a certain society. They would just be themselves.
It is impossible to be a non conformist. Notice how people who claim to be nonconformists tend to be humans? Well, if they are, then they are conforming to be human. Therefore, rendering it impossible that they are a nonconformist. That is destroying the definition on a technical level, now comes where it is challenged on a lower level.
It has also occurred to me that whenever I see somebody call themselves a nonconformist, they seem to have an "emo-ish" appearance. Now dont get me wrong, im not saying that this is a problem that they look this way. But it does seem odd that they are saying that they are not conforming to anything when they are obviously part of a group. See the problem here?
The point is. The word nonconformist is stupid. It should not be used to describe a person. It just does not make sense.

Get the non-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.The worst type of conformist, these are the disillusioned ones who believe they are not conformists and by slating conformists down they become non-conformists.
"Yeah, I'm not a conformist, I think it's stupid when people dress in a certain way to be liked, you should always dress differently from other people."
