Maybe they mix it up more than other cliques in terms of clothing, but they're still part the same subculture, just different sects of it. They've all embraced the whole "dark and brooding" thing, do a Malice tells them, and even adopted "Goth" nicknames. Even though, in your story, they feel that these are their true identities and aren't putting on an act, it's still conformity.

If Malice dislikes conformists, it seems like she would have mixed feelings about having formed her own clique. Unless she's the sort of person who feels that conformity is bad unless it's conforming to her standards. Which would be hypocritical as hell, but she doesn't exactly have the best track record for being a very good person to begin with.
