How do you say "break away from the norm" in another phrase? :)

Asked by meeeek (50points) April 14th, 2011

I’m working on another project and I’m trying to come up with a theme title. The theme is actually, game-changing generation, so I’ve to come up with a title for that :)

“Everybody got mixed feelings
about the function and the form;
Everybody want to deviate from the norm”

So saith Rush (NOT Rush Limbaugh, Rush the band)

My suggestion for your title: “Nonstandard Deviants”

To me ‘break away from the norm’ and ‘game-changing generation’ are two different things:

Break away from the norm = rebellion, or something like it
Game-changing = ground breaking or innovative, or something like those

Social deviation
non-traditional
off the beaten path

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, 10

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. 15

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Rise above the fray
Designing your own path
Going in a different direction
Thinking outside the box
Creative direction
Marching to the beat of a different drummer
Finding your own path
I love brainstorming, thanks for the question.

stand out
move into new territory
carve out a new niche
cross into a new frontier
to go where no generation has ever gone before

how many more cliches do you want?

Here are some that aren’t cliches:

the monster generation
the new greats
the fearless explorers
masters of the art of ingenuity
guides into the singularity
they see beyond vision
a generation that sees beyond vision

please, please, please don’t use a cliche
