Non-Conformist Conformist

The worst type of conformist, these are the disillusioned ones who believe they are not conformists and by slating conformists down they become non-conformists.
"Yeah, I'm not a conformist, I think it's stupid when people dress in a certain way to be liked, you should always dress differently from other people."

Non-Conformist

Technically speaking a Non-Conformist chooses their path for reasons outside of some commonly observed trends, traditions, and beliefs.
Non-Conformists do not need validation from others and have a strong inner guide.
Choices may be made which mirror the common consensus, but the internal reasoning will be based on analysis rather than following.
Which is why non-conformists really cannot be identified or labeled.
And why those who would call themselves non-conformist are actually conforming to the definition.
Which negates their claims.
The new Jordan sneakers are released.
The Non-Conformist would be trying on different pairs of shoes and if the Jordans have the comfort, price, and feel they like they will purchase them,
More than likely the Non-Conformist will end up purchasing them weeks or months after the release.

mass-marketed non-conformism

Very similar to conformists or popular culture... but actually a subculture of pop. If sixty kids shop at Hot topic then they are mass-marketed non-coformists. They used to listen to Marilyn before he released "AntiChrist Superstar" so they justify that they are not posers. Next gen version of these kids are know described as Scene.
Choir of 13 angst-ridden kiddies singing in unison:
"one is different but there are a million the same!"
After seeing this specticle one realizes...Holy shite!
All Those kids are practicing mass-marketed non-conformism!

Non-conformist

Anyone who is not swayed by public opinion. They could be the nerdy kids who go to the downtown library or a the religious kid or anyone.
Ironically, there is a sub-set of conformism where people will start wearing all black, get a couple piercings, and start listening to goth music while telling people they are "non-conformists." These people are really, really annoying.

non-conformist

One who doesn't conform to modern social views. In Western society this would mean listening to whatever you want, wearing whatever you want, etc. regardless of the views of any social group.

It is important to note that those who listen to emo music and wear stereotypically emo clothes, for example, are not non-conformists; they are just brainless prats. They don't actually want to listen to the music that they do, they simply do it in order to fit into a social group (conforming).
There is no non-conformist group; non-conformist refers to an individual. As such, any group of people that say they are non-conformists (for example, goths, emos, punks etc.) aren't actually non-conformist. They are just brainless prats, as described above.
