Shoreditch Samurai 

A longer than average 'manbun' that results in a pony tale like flop. This haircut, worn in combination with a beard, results in a style similar to Chonmage (丁髷, ちょんまげ) and closely resembles that of the hairstyle worn by ancient Japanese Samurai.

This image has become popular amongst young adult men and is synonymous with the concept of contemporary 'hipsterification' taking place in predominantly regenerated urban areas (particularly in London).
Matt: "Hey Sam, isn't Jay's manbun cool."
Sam: "Yeah, bloody Shoreditch Samurai!"

Shoreditch twat 

Usually a new media, fashion student, photographer-type person with a privileged digital or old school arts background who lives/works/socialises in London's East End area of Shoreditch. A Shoreditch twat has at some point also worked/lived/socialised in the near-by Brick Lane. A Shoreditch twat is defined by their Hoxton Finn haircut, 80s retro 90s fusion clothes (usually a suit jacket, blue ripped jeans, and white trainers/shoes), an ability to talk about pseudo-intellectual artistic bullshit with no relevance to the real world, completely up their own backsides, and a failure to comprehend that they are the laughing stock of the rest of the normal local (ethnic) population. The Shoreditch Twat has now been immortalised by the fictional Nathan Barley and serialised on TV by Channel 4.

Shoreditch twat 

20-something dressed in over-priced torn clothing and numerous 80s retro fashion items, sometimes including pink legwarmers. Ridiculous haircuts also de-rigeur. Comonly found in Shoreditch/Hoxton area, usually making bad art in an overpriced warehouse apartment while living on seemingly limitless parental funds. Shoreditch twats where once refered to more politely by the BBC as 'Hoxton trendies'.

shoredouche 

A typical Shoreditch (in east London, UK) twit.

One of them trendies that'd strap a meercat to their head if they were told it was cool by Vice magazine or Noel Fielding or the like... though noel fielding has lost his touch a bit

Not everyone in Shoreditch is a Shoredouche... but a fair chunk of em are

can be used in an amiable teasing manner of course... its just a shame 'douche' is such a twattish word...
"fuck a duck! check out the Shoredouche over there, he has a small rodent tied to each ear and he's riding a bike fit for a toddler. Would you look at that; his knees are so high up he's at risk of causing himself a concussion"
