Digital Nomad

TLDR; people who constantly travel (nomad) and constantly use computers (digital). The latter usually (but not necessarily) to generate income.
But there are these categories, broadly speaking. People who ...
1. ... have a remote job that they can do from anywhere who like to travel a lot.
2. ... have (usually new) money and confuse spending that on some sort of digitally administrable business that isn't sustainable with 'entrepreneurship'. While traveling.
3. ... scam other people by selling guides for how to become one of the above. While traveling.
4. ... record themselves buying, wearing, doing stuff that makes other, equally simple-minded people jealous. While traveling.
If they amass enough of aforementioned simpletons looking at their media, they may manage to generate an income from this.
Often people are in multiple groups.
Twenty years ago you would almost only meet digital nomads from group 1.

Nowadays they seem to be the minority.
Especially people who are rich often call themselves "digital nomads" because the following, better suited terms, sound way less cool:
affluent alien
made migrant
wealthy vagabond
Granny died and left me her fortune.

Nomad Life

Attractive people under 50 who have used Scandinavian minimalistic ideologies to decorate a space (sometimes a car) and vlog the idea that they barely work and change cities, or countries often, giving the bulk of overworked society a dream. NomadLife is the hashtag, changing hobbies for work is the norm and garnering thousands of followers for free swag is the goal. #NomadLife
