and you're not just non-conformist for the sake of non-conformity?

Hmmmmm, while I am certainly not interested in turning out like the others my age are going to turn out in a large majority thanks to systemic errors in our generational zeitgeist, I try not to define myself against imprecise stereotypic labels of subgroups. My iconoclasm generally stems from being a luftmensch for a long period (or perhaps being suffocated and having my head crushed during a lengthy delivery... I was born with a blue ear from oxygen deprivation, which likely damaged my cognitive abilities somewhat unfortunately).
