Antiromanticist

/æntiroʊˈmæntɪsɪst/ noun

Definition

A person who opposes or rejects Romantic ideals, philosophy, or artistic movements.

Etymology

From anti- (against) + romanticist (an adherent of Romanticism). The suffix -ist denotes a person who practices or believes in something.

Kelly Says

An antiromanticist would be the person rolling their eyes at sunset poetry readings—they existed in the 1800s as serious philosophers, but today they'd probably just be called 'realistic' or 'practical.'
