Non-conformosts are silly. If you want to be your own person, just do whatever feels right to you without regard for whether it's popular. It takes a massive tool to make a conscious effort to not fit in, and ultimately you're just as beholden by popular sentiment as the people you try to avoid; for you it's just inverted.

And most of the time it is not even that. Non-Conformists are just saying that they don't conform to some other social group, while totally conforming with another that just happens to dominate their own social group. Doesn't matter of it is school cliques, or adult sub-cultures, or even religious and political identities. 

So Rax mentions blue hair as non-conformity, but that [i]totally[/i] is conformity. Blue hair is as common as dicks. Non-conformity would be getting blue hair in the 1960's. Or, alternatively, wearing your hair in a full-on beehive now.
