A person who refuses to be a "conformist sheep", but usually just ends up conforming to a different standard than most people. In the 1950s, the "nonconformists" were the beakniks, in the 1960s there were hippies, in the 1970s freakers came along, in the 1980s punks and goths emerged as the new standard of nonconformity, etc.

okay, we should all stop with this conforming, label, sterotype thing. people are people. let them do what they want. everyone is different.

An oxymoron since people who try to be nonconformists tend to conform to a "guideline" of nonconformity. As you can see, this makes no sense whatsoever.

People who dont follow fads or fashion or are against classing and grouping, quite often 'goth', but really do those things because of the fact that they call theselves non-conformists and everyone else conformists of non-non-conformists or whatever. Some are just wannabes, and just say 'everyone likes that and im a non-conformist, so i cant like that'. A real non-conformist would like stuff before it was fashonable, during its fashionableness and after its gone out of fashion.

a person who does not fit in to normal society, either knowingly or subconsciously.

Oxymoron. A person who tries to be completely different than all other people in order to get attention.

The most retarded, unpleasant conformists alive. In a pathetic attempt to boost their own self-esteem by being "different", nonconformists put down everything that is accepted and liked by mainsteam society. The problem is, this doesn't actually mean they aren't conforming. They're simply conforming to the standards of their counterculture.
