    It used to be a compliment, like 10 or 15 years ago. Beautiful and unique like a snowflake. … but it got twisted into an insult by conformists.

      I think it’s even older than that. I remember a scene in Fight Club (1999) in which the main character gives a motivational speech “You are not special. You’re not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You’re the same decaying organic matter as everything else.”
