Meaning of outreness | Babel Free

Definitions

Quality of being outré.

uncountable

Examples

“A sub-cultural style or artifact, when adopted by the mainstream, loses its singularity. Once bell-bottoms became fashionable they were no longer a "gay style." However, it would be foolish to think that these "borrowings" were indicative of acceptance or even tolerance. More than likely, they are to defuse a threat, or because someone decides their outre'''-ness will be marketable.”
