Conformity is the act of 'blending in with the crowd' or emulating the actions of another individual, group, or belief system. Conformity can be linked to a fear of rejection or the presence of apathy in a person. For instance, in a school-system, different social sects will conform to a certain style of clothing or behavior in order to fit in with a certain group. Conformity is also a part of conversation. In our daily lives, we will consistently conform to the opinions and ideas of other people. Conforming to the idea of another doesn't necessarily mean agreeing with something they say that you don't believe in, but it can be, and this is where the negative side of conformity comes from. In conversational conformity, one can sit back and watch while someone they like/befriended is being attacked or even join in. This example of negative conformity is often found in schools and in the workplace. The desire for acceptance drives people to offer negative information about another person in order to fuel their conversational counterpart's drive for drama. Urban Dictionary

Non-conformity = conformity Urban Dictionary

Something that hipocritical and annoying people run around and bitch about, usually because they are still bitter and pissed off about not fitting in with the majority of their society. Of course, all of their actions are based on the actions of another, since it is impossible to base an action on something you have never seen before. And if you really weren't a conformist, you would create all your own clothes, speak your own personal language, play and listen to only your own music, and invent unique foods to eat. Oh wait, you would still be a conformist, because you would be basing your anti-conformity on the widespread bitching about conformity. Urban Dictionary
