Burbite (Bur~Bite) 1. A diminutive term used by the urban young adults (18-29) of
San Francisco to describe the individuals of the outlying suburban communities. 2. A
person of origin
outside the city of San Francisco, residing
outside of the city of San
Francisco, who attempts to assume hippness by visiting the quainter neighborhoods of San
Francisco, or to a lesser extent Berkeley, on an infrequent basis. 3. A person residing in the suburbs
of a major
hip city, who has not fully committed him or herself to the assuming the general
kinkyness of the times and herd mentality of a
dense urban region. Note, burbites usually
feel its a necessity to own a high fuel consumption vehicle that does not easily
fit into a compact urban parking space. People using this term in common vernacular tend to try and out do their contemporaries by acquiring new subdivisions of body
art and piercings rather than new tract homes in suburban
subdivisions. Burbites define
art and hippness by obtaining large cookie
cutter possessions that make them as bland as everyone else in their neighborhood. Non-burbites (urban hipsters) define
art and hipness by decorating their bodies like everyone else in their neighborhood.
