释义 | individualist (once / 9184 pages) nadj If you’re an individualist, you think for yourself and do things your own way — you have the individualist values of independence and creativity. It is great to be an individualist, meaning you won't conform to social pressures — that is, unless a group of individualists is trying to come to mutual agreement about something.

Most likely, those differences are the result of individualist attitudes about how the music should sound.
