Yes.

It's not always the case, but far too often, the position of "contrarian" is adopted as if it's a legitimate stance just because it's contrary. Interestingly, the two groups most guilty of believing the "anti" stance has any substance in and of itself are hipsters and the Republican Party. Go figure.
