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.
STAN: "How do I become a nonconformist?"
GOTH KID: "You have to dress the same way we do, and listen to the same kind of music we like."

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.
That nonconformist bought some trendy studded pants from Hot Topic and a bunch of buttons which he pinned to his bookbag, thus causing him to look and dress just like a hundred-thousand other nonconformists.

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.
Ewmigosh look at those pants (insertnamehere) is wearing!
Week later: Oh yeah these pants are hot!
Week after that: (insertnamehere) is still wearing those pants. They are soo last week.

Oxymoron. A person who tries to be completely different than all other people in order to get attention.
Steve wore all black, pale makeup and thick boots to school to be different.....until he saw all the other "non-conformists" at school.

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.
I have no problem with people wearing black and listening to bands I've never heard of (common features among "nonconformists". I respect their choice not to "conform". Yet inevitably, they have no respect for my choice to wear pink polo shirts and Coach bags while listening to popular music. They say I'm a conformist-ironically, their friends look a lot more alike than mine do.
