used to describe a person who is completely themselves, never afraid to be who they are, not worrying about what other people think of them. these people also tend to be completely respectable, friendly, and just plain awesome. Individuals cannot be put into a category because they act how they want, not how others want them to. they can think outside the box, because they are not confined by others to think only about certain things. they have butt-loads of creativity, which means that they can come up with a completely original idea, or an idea that was influenced by others' thoughts. contrary to the popular belief of those without it, creativity is NOT "forgetting who you stole from", but rather an ability that is looked down on in the adult world.
John: ummm, dude? why are you doing that?
Finn: why not?
John: because the popular people say that that's not cool!
Finn: i don't care what they think. they aren't the boss of me!
John: wow. that's awesome. you're an individual, aren't you?
Finn: i don't like labels, bro.
John yup, you're an individual alright

The word 'Individual' , when used in the context of describing a person "Im Individual" Is highly oxymoronic.
For someone to be individual (we'll take girls for an example) They break away from the punk/chav/townie etc... background they once had, and don the clothes similar to that of a Scene Fairy, and load their iPod with bands such as Fall Out Boy and Panic! at the disco.
The irony if it is, an 'Individual' is NOT individual, they origonally set out to break away from steryo-types, and be a free person, but they wind up in another group, labelled as an Individual, along with the rest of their 'Individual' Friends that look exactly the same as them.

A person who feels the need to do the opposite of everyone else just to be cool. They constantly call people who don't try to be individual "sheep". This is quite ironic really, becasue the only reason they decided to become an individual in the first place was because everyone else was.
Individual: OMG you like mainstream music! You are so unindividual! Stop liking stuff becasue everyone else does you sheep!
Me: And why is it you became individual?
Me: And why is it you became individual?

Over-used term used for self-definition by loners. By claiming that your parent's do not understand, that you hate popular stereotypes et cetera, one will somehow obtain "Individuality". Most "Individuals" are actually just brain-dead townie-haters that really have no place on the social ladder, so join a group similar to them and be about as individual as a lemming.
Real individualism is hard to come by these days, or infact, any day (monday; Tuesday etc.)

Individuality is wearing black clothes, mascara, nail-polish.
Individuals walk with their hands in their pockets, a stiff, hunched back postion that leans forward with every step.
Individuals are pussies.

American High-schooler idea. Being "Individual" Is all about moronicly blaming the government and jocks for all your troubles. Individuals are weak-willed lemmings as seen in any lame teen movies.
When they are old enough to pay taxes, they will, because they are too weak to say no. Hahahahaha!
Of course, these people are not limited to the USA, but this term probably origianated there.

The guy wearing black nail-polish and whining about the governments and big corporations think's he/she is individual.

The belief that a person is more Individual and unique than their friends. Or, the need to be more unique than people around them.
I have the most underground music taste out of all my friends, since my individuality complex needs me to be the most unique.

A person who has become targeted by any party, organization or entity. A person can become targeted from entities ranging from corruption in business, organized crime, cults & extremists or by government. A person who becomes targeted will face campaigns of surveillance of different degrees and generally speaking campaigns that negatively impact an individual. This could range from campaigns to harass, discredit, sabotage, instill fear and paranoia, manipulate, extort, or even assassinate; among others.
John blew the whistle on wrong doing within the company he worked for and became a targeted individual.
