Sometimes I wonder at what point a celebration of the contrarian and unorthodox violates the “keep your identity small” ethic.
Presumably at the point where you say something because it's contrarian, rather than because it's true and only incidentally contrarian.
If we develop a strong bias toward the contrarian we likely won’t recognize when we’ve crossed that point.

how do you know someone is a contrarian? don’t worry, they’ll tell you
One day, Paul Karl Feyerabend told me that Popper had once accused him of being a knee-jerk contrarian -- to which, of course, Feyerabend retorted, "I am not!" This was years ago, Feyerabend added. "Since then," he said, "I've begun to think that maybe Popper was right."
I feel like most inauthentic contrarianism comes with respect to popular art - music, TV, movies - where someone seems to be overtly building an identity around not being like "the herd." (e.g., "not watching the dragon show tonight guys" -> SEND TWEET)
