Fizz De Novism (or just "De Novism") is a philosophy and value found in extended fizz ideology and practiced by some fizz musicians which describes the practice of "forcing" new music, cultural ideas, and concepts into existence without the need or permission of a naturalistic force to guide or allow it to propagate. Many musical gestures, conceptual ideas, and new labels for existing or concepts created by fizz musicians are claimed to have been forced into existence in such a manner. Denovists believe that forced repetition of attempts and/or uses of ideas, essentially "repetition legitimizes" applied on a memetic level, is always possible and is encouraged, rejecting hard linguistic naturalism. Some See Fizz De Novism as a part of Fizz Counter Culture, and a form of rebellion against the [[Kumbaya Ideology|Kumbaya Industrial Complex]].
Have you ever heard a musician you admire give the advice "don't try to force the writing process when it's not working, the results aren't great", and just felt kind of depressed afterwards, as if we're all subject to some kind of musical predestination in how much we can output, and that no one is in control of it at all? Many of us do, and many of us do not want to submit to this fatalistic mindset. '''De Novism''' (or Denovism, Fizz De Novism) in a nutshell is the view that new ideas and new concepts can always be forced into existence without the permission of a natural force to carry it for you. The concept goes beyond just artistic output or forcing together new musical ideas without feeling inspiration to get you there, and extends to concepts and ideas themselves, which makes de novism an [[wikipedia:Autological_word|autological word]]. De novism is seen by some as presently countercultural, taking a rebellious stance against the [[Kumbaya Ideology|Kumbaya Industrial Complex]] and agency denying ideologies at their core.

The fizz movement at its core, is denovist in nature, with its [[Torus of Fizzosophy|philosophy]], tenants, image, and self actualization as its own genre being forced into existence without permission, and [[This-is-just-ism|without care what others think]].
Denovists commonly reject and strongly challenge the idea that an artist or musician needs some form of "inspiration" in order to output strong or fully realized musical ideas, and prefer to adopt a mindset of radical artistic agency, which is a phrase that can be used to describe the belief that "lacking inspiration" or having "[[wikipedia:Writer's_block|writer's block]]" as a reason to not try outputting is a self imposed mental block that should be seen as just a challenge to work around, and that forcing musical output is always possible, even if it's difficult. Denovists don't doubt that writer's block is real, they simply reject that it's a death sentence of one's artistic agency and ability to create fully realized musical output.


Denovists also really like giving names to concepts they think should have names. "Fizz De Novism" is actually an example of this, and is thus an [[wikipedia:Autological_word|autological]] term. Terms being spread can either be made up, or be already existing and be spread.

Have you ever heard a musician you admire give the advice "don't try to force the writing process when it's not working, the results aren't great", and just felt kind of depressed afterwards, as if we're all subject to some kind of musical predestination in how much we can output, and that no one is in control of it at all? Many of us do, and many of us do not want to submit to this fatalistic mindset. De Novism (or Denovism, Fizz De Novism) in a nutshell is the view that new ideas and new concepts can always be forced into existence without the permission of a natural force to carry it for you. The concept goes beyond just artistic output or forcing together new musical ideas without feeling inspiration to get you there, and extends to concepts and ideas themselves, which makes de novism an autological word. De novism is seen by some as presently countercultural, taking a rebellious stance against the Kumbaya Industrial Complex and agency denying ideologies at their core.

The fizz movement at its core, is denovist in nature, with its philosophy, tenants, image, and self actualization as its own genre being forced into existence without permission, and without care what others think.

Practices and Mantras in De Novism

"You can always force musical/artistic output". It doesn't matter if you don't feel like it, if you don't feel inspiration, if no ideas are coming to you in your head, if you are brutally tinkering with individual notes to get there; you can always force it. Even if it's objectively true you presently cannot, you cannot possibly know that, so don't act as if it's true. Take the denovism wager.

Denovists love forcing new names for things into existence for concepts they are forcing into existence: A denovist doesn't succumb to culture or individual pressure telling them their ideas are stupid. Creating new ideas that are useful, and acting as if they've always been reel, and giving them a name, or heck, just giving a name to something that already exists, but everyone was afraid to give it a name. You can always force it.
