Being misunderstood for a season is the price of doing something new. People catch up once they see the result.

Anything genuinely new is illegible for a while, because people can only read it against things they already recognise. The confusion is not a verdict on the work, it is the normal delay between doing something and it making sense to anyone else. Explaining harder rarely shortens it; results do.
Keep going while the reading of you is wrong, and resist the urge to campaign for a better one. Tell the few people who need to know and let the rest wait. The catching up happens on its own.
