What is Nonconformist?
A term that seems to be largely skewed on this website.
A nonconformist is NOT a goth, and is nothing like it. Goths are conformists, as they are conforming to being goths. There are no 'group considered nonconformists' because that doesn't make sense. A nonconformist is simply someone who doesn't like the social groups he lives around, so chooses to stay out of it. These people will normally be wearing random articles of clothing, sometimes or often provocative that wouldn't actually put someone into a 'group'.
Tim wore a tight T-shirt and a jacket to school today. Yesterday he had a plain T-shirt of a random band name on it that had no similarities to the one worn today. Regardless, he was still ridiculed by self -proclaimed geniuses on the internet who said that he would HAVE to conform, no matter what.

In reality, this is someone who does what they want to in life and doesn't do things just because of others. They are influenced by society but do not follow it. The Common misconseption is that you're only a nonconformist if you conform to being a nonconformist, but theyre just the people who fucked it all up and are the real conformists. The topic is quite contradictory.

Me: Right...
What does "Nonconformist" mean?
One who does not follow the norms of their overall society or culture.

For example, unless he or she made up a language only he or she knows, he or she do share the same language with others in his or her culture or society, and therefore he or she is a conformist in that respect.
If one to were to learn a bit about modern psychology, he or she would discover that nonconformists are almost nonexistent.

Elise: I won't follow your advice. I won't "think for myself." I am a nonconformist.

The image that some people call "non-comfortist" is just an image that they want to portray themselves are independent and not needing of society and it's rules and regulations to functions as a being.

Nonconformist - definition
Contrary to popular belief, there IS such a thing as a nonconformist. However, they ARE rare. True nonconformists conform to their OWN ideas (which, in reality is not conforming at all). Sinse they only conform to themselves, they come in all different forms, depending on what type of person they are. In short, a nonconformist is a totally honest and transparent person who says what they think does what they want.
Lisa is so open and honest! She's a true nonconformist.
Nonconformist - slang
A nonconformist is a person who does not conform to the trends of the average person. A true nonconformist does what they want to do and not what other people want them to do.
This is not to be confused with an anticonformist, which is a person who does the opposite of what the typical person does.
Anticonformists often call themselfs nonconformists, because they dont know any better.
At a party where the majority of people are drinking:
The conformist would drink till he/she can't drink no more.
The anticonformist would not drink a drop.
The nonconformist would drink as much as he/she feels like drinking.
Nonconformist
a person who usually does things differently from the majority of people, not for the sake of being different and special, but because they prefer to do so.
As a nonconformist, Alex doesn't care if a band is bashed my many people, he still listens to them and admits that because he likes their music.
Nonconformist
A non-existent idea,
-A person that does not conform to musical , social, or fashion trends.

Nonconformist
A term often used poorly by people.
Conformity and nonconformity is a spectrum that one exists on. Each have their ups and downs and neither absolute is possible for normal people.
A conformist tends to go along with society's rules more often than most, and tends to do so uncritically. Everyone who is not a psychopath conforms a little. And part of having good manners, morals, and behaviors is conforming to rules set down by people who are long dead and built the society you live in (and probably knew better than you).
A non-conformist is more elusive, but it simply is someone who is an individualist and values their own agency. As with conformist, it's not an absolute for normal people. And many non-conformists are wrong because going against the grain has an inherent risk, especially since most people don't know better. Otherwise everyone would do it
There are some paradoxical overlaps. For example, a non-conformist playing nice to appease people is conforming in a sense but is a practical cost of doing business in the real world.
Ultimately it comes down to how often you exercise control over your own life when you can practically do so. And anyone who uses music, or clothes as an example of their nonconformity is kind of a retard.
"Sarah attended that party because her client needed her to. Such a conformist, doing what people want. Not like me. I am a nonconformist!" Whether this is true or not depends on the station of the person saying this versus the station of Sarah. Whoever has more control over their life is the winner so to speak.
