A dude who doesn’t leave his house and knows about anything that has to do with Trapping. He knows about every deal that goes on.
Ashir this kid 16-17 never leaves his house. He's a trap historian studies everything trap related. Never sold or touched drugs in his life. His mom doesn’t let him. Just loved to know all about deals business. Spends All his time online in dealer groupchats and spamming dealers pretending to be a "real n*gga" apparently his cousin actually was a big ass plug for a while. and that's why he got obsessed with the trap cuz he saw his cousin. But he's too scared to go outside and sell drugs or anything so he lives in this fantasy land. His burning curiosity of the trap consumes him, he must learn something new every day, whether it be the 8th grader buying a $15 gram of oregano, or a 6 figure deal going down a couple blocks away. He needs to know, he is the hub of all knowledge, every network leads to him, and though an unimaginable weight to bear, he stays being a trap historian, humble til the end of his days.

A person who thinks they know more than they really do about everything and will give their opinions in a condescending manner as if they could never be wrong. To the average or ill-informed questioner, this person will have lots to say and will seem knowledgeable enough, but people who really know them understand that this person is a phony. Any real expert or accomplished person would make the Quora Historian look like a child, which is what the Quora Historian fears most.
All of these Quora Historians are running around talking about the best running shoes and wind resistant headbands for a 5k, but I don't think a single one of them has broken 20 minutes.

Ultimate historian is the title for anyone who will be able to achieve the finale goal of all who study history:
ability to predict the future based on knowledge of the past.

A basketball fan who is specifically a supporter of the NBA team the Los Angeles Lakers, and wears their jersey at any game outside of Los Angeles of a rival team who are facing the Lakers that night, but do not know any of the current members of the team.
An off-breed of the Sports Asshole (who only shows up to games to boo the home team for fun), Lakers Historians are identified by wearing the jersey of a player who used to play for the franchise but no longer does. (i.e. Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar ) These specific markings (or names and numbers) are a sign that they're fans of what the team used to be in their glory days and don't keep up with who is on the team now while they're terrible. Hence, why they're not identified as a regular "Lakers Fan".
They're also not to be confused as an actual Basketball Historian, who cares about the history of the game as a whole, and not what one team did in three specific time periods.

Someone who erases the past to fit their vision of the present. From the George Orwell novel '1984'.
Why dwell on your sad childhood memories? Just have a orwellian historian take your unhappy pictures and home movies and have them destroyed. Then you block them out of your mind for good.
