Active opposition to or prevention of creative expression and innovation.
From anti- (against) + creativity (act of creating). This is a nominalized form of the adjective anticreativity, built from Latin roots but expressing a modern concept of systemic resistance to innovation.
Schools sometimes inadvertently practice anticreativity by rewarding only 'correct answers' and punishing risk-taking—yet the most important innovations in history came from people who broke those rules.
