Pronunciation: /ˈpɛt.oʊ.ʃɛŋk/
A person who lingers in the echoes of outdated styles and expired trends, often unaware that the cultural tide has long since shifted.

Their choices, both aesthetic and existential, seem misaligned with the present moment, suggesting a deeper sense of being lost or directionless in life.
