Nightbreed 

Of or relating to the subterranean community of supernatural, monstrous outcasts in Clive Barker’s 1990 film Nightbreed.

When used in daily life, Nightbreed is a unifying and endearing way to refer to those who have an open mindedness and even an affinity for fringe, niche, or generally strange things and/or people. Only someone who is Nightbreed can comment on someone else’s Nightbreed status.
Example:

Person 1: “No one at the Halloween party knew what my costume was.”

Person 2: “Didn’t you go as the Cenobite that looks like CeeLo Green?”

Person 1: “Yeah. Basic stuff…”

Person 2: “I don’t know.. I guess the people you work with aren’t Nightbreed.”

Example:

Person 1: “John, what do you want on your hot dog?”

John: “Nothing.. not even a bun. Wait, do you have mayo?”

Person 3: “John is so Nightbreed.”
