individual
Def1)A person who lives life dominated by their own personal values, beleifs, and ambitions. A true "individual" doesn't even realize they are an individual, they are just doing their thing and
it feels natural to them. Anyone who calls themselves an individual and thinks they
arn't part of culture and society is stupid and just as unindividual as they people they look down on for joining mainstream culture. Listening to obscure
indie music doesn't make you an individual. Wearing trendy clothes does not make you an individual.Def2)But really, everyone is an individual, the previously mentioned "true individual" who does their thing because it comes naturally to them is really just a confident, intelligent person who stands out from the crowd, but in actuallity is no different that everyone else just because humans, in a basic sense, live for the same things (their values, ambitions, personal relationships, dreams, ect). Its impossible not to be an individual, because people have evolved as societies for the last million years and your attitude can not change that. Everyone has their own values and beleifs, but their behaviour is shaped in varying degrees by their setting and role in a situation. This is
undeniable and undebatable fact of human existance. The people who appear to be "individual" just have their behaviour and morals/ideas influenced by a different
aspect of life than
the observer's own beliefs.

Individual's may actually
conform, just to prove that they are individual from other individuals...
There is
no definition of an individual, for to define an individual is hideously
oxymoronic.

usually a person who does whatever they want, when they want, how they want. this included the music the listen to (which usually includes some sort of indie), the clothes they wear and who they are friends with. kind of odd, because they're arent many individuals but its all about doing whatever you want.
sometimes though, there are kids who go out of their
way to be indivivuals, this includes listening to stupid
scene bands or
copying off an individual.
Example:
Bitch:
i like your shoes.
individual: thanks dog, they were only
five bucks!!
Bitch: where'd you get them?
individual: er, hot topic, lame i know haha. i dont really prefer the whole goth scene and that store, but i liked the shoes.
(Bitch takes
mental note)
...the next day
Bitch: look at my shoes dog.
individual: those are the ones i was weraing yesterday.
Bitch: i know i got them at hot topic.
individual: fuck.

used to describe a person who is completely themselves, never afraid to be who they are, not worrying about what other people think of them. these people also tend to be completely respectable, friendly, and just plain awesome. Individuals cannot be put into a category because they act how they want, not how others want them to. they can
think outside the box, because they are not
confined by others to think only about certain things. they have butt-loads of creativity, which means that they can come up with a completely original idea, or an idea that was influenced by others' thoughts. contrary to the popular belief of those without it, creativity is NOT "forgetting who you stole from", but rather an ability that is looked down on in the
adult world.
Example:
John: ummm, dude? why are you doing that?
Finn: why not?
John: because the
popular people say that that's not cool!
Finn: i don't care what they think. they aren't the boss of me!
John: wow. that's awesome. you're an individual, aren't you?
Finn: i don't like
labels, bro.
John yup, you're an individual alright

The word 'Individual' , when used in the context of describing a person "Im Individual" Is highly
oxymoronic.
For someone to be individual (we'll take girls for an example) They break away from the punk/chav/townie etc... background they once had, and don the clothes similar to that of a Scene Fairy, and load their iPod with bands such as Fall Out Boy and Panic! at the disco.
The irony if it is, an 'Individual' is NOT individual, they origonally
set out to break away from steryo-types, and be a free person, but they
wind up in another group, labelled as an Individual, along with the rest of their 'Individual' Friends that look exactly the same as them.
