I’m not sure if AInik works, wouldn’t that mean they are a fan of AI? Also unsure of the synth- options as a friend of synthesizer musicians, but as a non musician maybe I should use that myself 🤔 I can’t interpret analogian without help…
But the others sound pretty great! Cogstainers is awesome because it can be reworked into different word types. Verbs, adjectives. Incredible.

If they had come up with something original like that, it would have been better. But creating constructive neologisms takes work, I guess.
Try if one of the following strikes your fancy
AIniks
NoBots
Cogclean
Algorejects
Synthephobes
I quite like synthephobes !
Synthless
Cogstainers
Analogians

AIniks, it’s something like refusenik, chainik and beatnikm yeah I’m not sure if it’s anti, or pro or something else, it’s also hard to say

A cogstaining synthless analogianSynthfree ?
Makes more sense now, I only picked up one the first 2/3 and thought of other things 😅
