Cool but in a non-mainstream way. For example Abercrombie may be cool among a certain set, but it will never be spooky.
Poss. derivation from Fox Mulder's nickname on the X-Files because Mulder embodied an outsider ideal of sorts being cute and smart and totally committed to his world view even when it was constantly under attack by all the "normal" people.

Alteration of objectivism.
This word originated in 1999 on a free ProBoards forum when some diehard randroid came and put a quote relating to Objectivism in her signature. This caused ads for Objectivist dating/sportswear/etc. to appear on every thread---the administrator quickly added "objectivism" to the censored word list and made it so every time she used this word it would become "objectivitism."
Since then, the word has come into widespread use in our community and probably others as well; where I live, you frequently hear people referring to "objectivitism" or "objectivitists" when referring to Ayn Rand's philosophy or her followers, respectively.
