anti-conformist conformer

Someone who, in their attempt to be an anti-conformist, is in reality conforming to a general subculture. These individuals usually view themselves as higher-ranking in culture, taste, and style; they pride themselves on liking obscure media. In addition, they are touchy when they are confronted with this reality.
(Similar to the Hipster movement, the exception in that case is that the Hipster is aware of their conforming to that subculture).

"He/She likes Bright Eyes, what an anti-conformist conformer."
