bummer slummer

a person who slums in other people’s misery
Any tourist who goes to a third world country merely to live in luxury for cheap, while abject poverty and hunger exist all about them, is nothing but an unprincipled bummer slummer.

Slummerville

Old nickname of Somerville, MA, a geographically small (but most densely-populated space in New England) area bordering Cambridge, MA, five minutes from downtown Boston. This term of classist disdian came into being in the 1950s as it was a student refuge from Cambridge real estate prices (Somerville is a minutes walk to Harvard) and a haven for immigrants and blue collar workers. Within the last twenty years, Somerville housing has skyrocketed and is now seen as one of the hippest places to live in the Boston area, as excellent bars, nightclubs, and restaurants proliferate the areas around Porter, Davis, Union, and Inman squares.
Somerville used to be called Slummerville back in the '50s.

Somebody who considers themself superior to the working class masses of the UK and who deliberately goes to a naff working class pub or venue for a night's entertainment, merely to wake up thankful the next day that what they experienced isn't actually part of their real lifestyle experience.
Henrietta: Hello, Marmaduke. You look tired. Hectic night?

Marmaduke: Yah. Went incognito up to the council estate and visited a public house doing Karaoke. Smoked forty fags, sang five songs, ate fish and chips and made out with a single parent mother.

Henrietta: Yuk! You slummer.
