Fameys are generally aged between about 20 and 35 (but average in their
mid to
late 20s) and are becoming increasingly prominent in and around
metro cities in Australia.
Fameys wear expensive designer brands.
They will wear these items to death and brag with their fellow fameys about it even though they
may be on low to moderate incomes. Fameys are extremely party orientated and prefer to hold their parties in the middle of the week to avoid seeming like
normal working class citizens.
Fameys seek to emulate the everyday lives of famous singers and movie stars by "living the life".
Fameys, although usually well into their 20s, typically still live at home, preferring to spend their
money on Juicy Couture hangbags or expensive restaurants.
Fameys use terms like "exclusive", "VIP" and "crack" to refer to their favourite haunts.
The famey will take photos (usually of themselves) everywhere they go. This is even worse if it is a group of fameys.
Fameys like to write blogs about themselves in the third
person as if they are commenting on a
celebrity and watch
celebrity interviews in an attempt to learn and mimic their mannerisms for use in their own obscure video blogs.
Fameys have popularised the uneven look, sporting different earrings on each side or different shoelaces on each foot in an attempt to look cool.
Fameys are like the anti-hipster in that they are blatant consumerists and they want you to know it.
Famey: Last night I partied so hard!
Person: But it was a Monday night, it was you and your friend getting
drunk under a tree... that's not a party.
Famey: Yes, but we'
re VIP, so it so was totally crack.
