inverted snobbery
Pride in commonness
Inverted snobbery is disdain for the privileged, educated, or refined—snobbery turned upside down.
Where traditional snobbery looks down on the common, inverted snobbery scorns the elite: His inverted snobbery made him dismiss anyone with a university degree.
It often manifests as aggressive pride in working-class origins or deliberate rejection of "fancy" tastes.
