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.
Move to the end of the bell curve.
Depat from the baseline.
Break with established procedure.
Rise above the fray
Designing your own path
Going in a different direction
Thinking outside the box
Creative direction

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
Marching to the beat of a different drummer.
