Anticonformities

/ˌæntɪkənˈfɔrmɪtiz/ noun

Definition

Plural of anticonformity; multiple instances or forms of resistance to social norms and conventional behavior.

Etymology

Kelly Says

The fact that we pluralize 'anticonformity' suggests that there are many different ways to rebel against society—there's no single blueprint for being unconventional, which is kind of the whole point!
