Fauxhemians C/D

Though, actually, are tripsters necessarily fauxhemians? And aren't fauxhemian tripsters a subcategory of fauxhemians in general? Yes, this is very important...

Bad things:
- Don't dress like a hippie and shop at Trader Joes and then go drive your groceries 4 blocks home in your *()#@ Mercedes SUV already. Real hippies walk or ride the bus.
- You are not all transgressive and cool. shut up already.
- Anthropologie stores => overpriced middle aged fauxhemian clothes
- watching Belltown change in the last 7 years - no more Sit & Spin, the old Speakeasy cafe is being knocked down, ridiculous rents, million dollar condos all over, corner shops that sell tons of imported wine and fancy foods and candles but have no actual corner store essentials, like laundry detergent or light bulbs

Also, are they the same thing as BoBos?

Whereas BoBos are a new upper class that represents "a marriage between the liberal idealism of the 1960s and the self-interest of the Reagan era" (link).

So they're different-but-overlap.

"Trustafarian is a derogatory term used to describe and ridicule white, often-wealthy students who have access to a ‘trust fund’ (savings account) income, often set up by their parents, and who adopt the cultural aesthetics and affectations of Rastafarianism. […] The term has expanded, especially in recent years, to include a derogatory term aimed at wealthy young travelers around the world. It no longer simply implies the aesthetics of Rastafarianism, but also the "backpacker" aesthetic, reminiscent of hippie designs, generally including unkempt clothing featuring embroidery, beading or local fabrics, and generally in a poor state - not to mention jewelry made from hemp or inexpensive metal. […] "Trustafarian" is almost always a more derogatory or pejorative term that implies something far more insulting than "backpacker" or "gap year kid"." (source)

So again, different-but-overlap.

Amateurist - I have had that floating around in bookmarks.html for a long time... :/

Also, I have no idea where I fall into the subculture tachonomy. Semi-transient noise fan with good career prospects?

(BSM)---> dancing like a twat, while the hipsters look on, mockingly - but secretly wishing they had the guts to step away and also dance like they were being electrocuted...
