The current definition makes it sound like sth admirable.
Why "start"?

認為這些作家只想表達自己,標新立異,不在內容與技巧上下工夫,無法引起大眾的共鳴。
He feels that these artists merely want to express their individuality by doing something strange and different, but without putting in any real effort in terms of content or technique, so that they cannot find resonance with the broad public.

自己精神層次提高,但不因此就標新立異,
While [Laozi] himself achieved ever higher levels of enlightenment, he did not allow himself to flaunt it,

倒不是為了標新立異,
But they weren't simply trying to prove themselves unconventional.

至於高中的服儀標準則較寬鬆,一般學生頭髮只要不燙、不染,不標新立異,學校不會有太多意見。
Senior high schools are relatively lax when it comes to discipline: students may not perm or dye their hair, or dress too unconventionally, but other than that the school will not have too much of a say.
