Plastic passport to debt slavery. Let's face it, if you can't afford something by direct debit, does it make sense to take out a high interest loan for it? If you can't afford to pay for it now, will you be able to pay even more shortly later?
Madness! Credit cards lead to spiraling debt by encouraging a buy now, PAY through the roof later culture. Ease of use helps people forget that they're spending hard money, moreso than cash.
Can be ruthless in reclaiming spiraling debt, people have become bankrupt and lost house and home because of credit cards.
Often seduce impressionable people with an array of asthetic/colour options, promoting it as a fashion item to be flouted!

FACT: The collective personal debt of Britain is now around one trillion Pounds (£); that's greater than the entire external debt of Africa, Asia and Latin America combined! Talk about a credit card culture. The bubble will burst, with mass reposessions etc.

Get the credit card mug.a wussy scenester who metaphorically emasculates himself in terms of fashion. Think pink t-shirts, highlights, mullets, coloured charity wristbands (though those seem unfashionable now), very white trainers, distressed jeans and that narcicisstic snow patrol song that whinges on about "if i lay here". Expect the same guys to be very ashamed in a few years' time and readily embrace a pretentious masculine fad that will no doubt erupt in frustration at this current, nauseatingly effiminate trend.

Get the metrosexual mug.ultimate starbucks order: "hi can i have a humungus... yes, 'venti', how pretentious, mocha with peppermint essence please?"

Get the mocha mug.You know that guy that works at starbucks has a carefully constructed 'i don't care' hair cut, seems perpetually disenchanted with society, politics, his work, everything everyone else does, over estimates his own intelligence and feels cheated in life, acts like he's broke, but gets hand outs from his well-off parents, studies a useless subject at university, and models himself on Seth from the OC? Yeah, total hipster.
Hipsters tend to pride themselves on obsure popular culture references and go to great lengths to formulate a pretentious scruffy look which actually requires great care.
