  Thats the thing: everyone thinks of themselves as an individual, and others as types.

  To the extent I think the label means anything, my definition of it includes not being very thoughtful. So there is a sense where following a trend is less thoughtful than doing something you like (but I also think pretending that you can know this when you see it is the worse thing). So my usage of it wouldn't really expect self identification, it would be a (slightly) negative judgement of the person.
