Along with my numerous self-diagnosed diseases, I think that I have confirmed that I have type two anticomformititis. I don't really know about type one, but I certainly have type two. Simply put, I suffer from a condition where I refuse to conform to anything popular at the time. Take for example:
2006 - The horrible 'High School Musical' Phase
2008 - Twilight
2010 - I don't really know, right now...Justin Bieber is really getting on my nerves.
One thing which occurs quite strongly though with anticomformititis would be that if I found any of these trends tasteful, it wouldn't be tasteful, because everyone likes it. This occurs semi-regularly with top 40 songs. The immediate reaction to "everyone likes it" is "it's shitty and bad taste". There's always the hater crowd, whether it be in real life...or Facebook.
