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.

He started listening to Voltaire, he thinks he's such a non-conformist,but he's just following a different crowd.

Someone who conforms by believing that they are not conforming. If someone ever calls themself a nonconformist they are thus a conformist by conforming to a group of noncomforists.
To be a true nonconformist you must do your own thing but be chill about it. Don't have it in your mind that you are a nonconformist, have it in your mind that you are you. Not part of a group, not a nonconformist, just you.

Emo kids who believe that they are nonconformists by not being preps when they are just conforming to the emo mold by believing that and thus becoming a reverse 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.

non-conformists do whatever they want, because they can, and they don't care. they like what's in style, what's out of style, and what will never be in style, all because they don't really care about what anyone else thinks. often confused with wannabe non-conformists, who refuse to like anything in style and are conforming to a different set of rules, as opposed to a real non-conformist who doesn't really notice that he or she is not conforming.
everyone thinks non-conformists are just conforming to being a non-conformist.
but we don't care... because that's just your conformed thinking speaking.

wannabe non-conformist: you think you're a non-conformist? you're so emo for wearing black nail polish. so you're not a non-conformist because you think you're emo. ew.
non-conformist: i like wearing black nail polish, but i also dance around in my underwear singing toxic by britney spears. half of my clothes are "emo", but the other half are hot pink. i do whatever i want and i don't care.
wannabe non-conformist: uhmm you're such a poser and a wannabe.
non-conformist: no, it's your conformed thinking that has drawn that conclusion.
wannabe non-conformist: i was jay kay i actually like all that stuff too.

usually, i don't shop at hollister, but if i see a shirt that i like i'll buy it, because being a non-conformist doesn't mean you aren't allowed to shop at typically preppy stores.

A person who, in their attempt to spurn the hegemony, abdicates the conventional social clique for a marginalized one; thereby maintaining their dependence and unwittingly forfeiting their individuality to another, equally common social class.
Hot Topic patrons and the like.

Someone who's both a conformist and a tool. This essentialy means they do whatever it takes to fit in with their idea of what's "cool" (almost always trying to hard and further preventing it)and often let themselves be used and taken advantage of by their "friends". Rather than being a redundant statement, seeing as a conformist and a tool are the same thing to everyone who isn't anal enough to give a shit, the repetition seems to just strengthen the meaning.

T-shirt. Michael bought it for me after I drove him to the concert, paid for his and all his friend's tickets then drove them back to my place where they had a massive party and totally trashed the place. Isn't it cool?
The conformist tool should then be beaten to death by everyone within earshot.

Conformist : "You're such a poser because you smoked weed."
Non-Conformist : "Actually, I smoked weed because I wanted to so shove it up your ass, you hipocryt."
