It has not such sense .@newscuckoo. The words which properly describe what you are referring to are 'dissent' and 'opposition'. The word 'contrarian' clearly implies a desire to be contrary. Genuine dissent is not a self-indulgent choice. — PolitiTweet.org

@ClarkeMicah I meant 'contrarian' in the sense of rejecting popular opinion, whether they do it for the sake of it or not.
