A conformist by definition is "a person who conforms to accepted behavior or established practices."
I'm gay atheist and feminist so I'm pretty sure I fall into the opposite of that. And I'm a musician but even in the music world I avoid what's mainstream popular and am more intrigued by jazz bands and small-time avant-gard prog and fusions bands.
In fact my username is "Anomaly" (also my stage name) because in science you have paradigms, which are like the established rules, and you have anomalies, which are outliers. If enough anomalies occur it's possible for the paradigm to be changed. I grew up as an "outlier." I never fit in, never had a lot of friends, never followed what was trendy, popular, whatever. I just kind of did my own thing. And furthermore I hope that I can do my part to shift some of the paradigms of modern culture.

Considering the majority of the country is heterosexual and/or religious and/or not feminist, I'm pretty far away from conforming to societal norms. And while I consider myself an atheist and feminist and you may argue I conform to those ideals, my views don't always align 100% with other atheists and/or feminists. I will not abandon my ideals simply to "fit in" to these categories
