**Implications** - North American society places a lot of importance on individuality, and many consumers are turning to the abstract to differentiate themselves from things they deem commonplace. As such, design elements which some may find off-putting are now desirable due to its ability to displease other consumers. Corporations can capitalize on this pattern by offering products with outlandish design elements which will attract consumers trying to purchase one-of-a-kind products.
