Eminemulator
A (usually) young, white male who dresses like "rapper" Eminem, complete with baggy pants and hoodie, as well as an overpriced ball cap. Basks in glow of own perceived sense of cool while sadly unaware of how foolish he actually is.

Hictorian
Tacky Victorian style, reflecting more "country charm" than authentic Victorian style. Epitomized by plastic flowers, fake antique furnishings, and by an over-abundance of doilies and potpourri.
