#AntiConformity
If only someone had written an article questioning whether trans studies' obsession with radical anticonformity actually provides a valuable future for the field, Jack.

If only you could have written a response explaining why you think it is, rather than stating it as a priori justification, Jack.

Goths that don't conform to standard anticonformity are my favorite goths.

@chiaroscuro4tet & @BIS_records present:
#Haydn: 'Russian' Quartets Op. 33!
Dedicated to future Tsar Paul I, #Haydn famously follows here more eccentric & anticonformity paths, & looking for more popular taste!

Rejecting AI as a social catalyst for widespread anticonformity: will the Butlerian jihad bring back freak folk? All this and the news at 7
that's not necessarily "communicating the way an average person does" and it's definitely not about meeting them where they are. if anything that's what the LLMs are doing. your idiosyncrasies show you are human, they are harder to fake than social masks. say the thing that no one else will say

There's no one more Avril-alike to me than Christian Rock singer, Krystal Meyers.

She even suspiciously went pop for her 3rd album, the year after Avril dropped The Best Damn Thing.

A simple answer is “anti-conformity bias” (www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...). But what mechanisms specifically drive it here is hard to say! Personally I still love me some Taylor Swift, KPop Demon Hunters etc. alongside my traditional folk songs, but I know many hate things that are too pop.

Like, we all consumed this anticonformity message (cf Lloyd Dobler), but really only the messengers took it to heart. Everyone else sold out as soon as practicable.

Obv not the 1st time idealistic youth sold out, but a really stark 180º.

I’m once again thinking about the 00s Christian music industry’s peak “if you like Avril Lavigne” artist, Krystal Meyers.

When I hear someone (like Pale Waves) lean hard into shameless Avril imitation, my mind still goes back to CD I had when I was 15.

Good question! This film was 1956 and the novel "The Stepford Wives" was 1972. I would say the anti conformist theme was common during the intervening years, more so after 1967, as anticonformity and refusal to go to Vietnam went hand in hand. By 1972 it was beginning to be ass'd with feminism.
