fauxhemian 

A conformist passing herself off as a nonconformist by going to great lengths to conform to an allegedly nonconforming alternative conformity rather than conforming to the mainstream conformity that she thinks is stiflingly conformist.

Marked by a notable lack of originality and creativity, an absence of genuine artistic talent, and carefully maintained escape routes so that she can give up the game when it stops being convenient.

fauxhemian 

Conforming to a safe, middle class lifestyle but with the superficial pretense of an alternative or Bohemian lifestyle.
