Some underground or obscure band (or band obscure to the fans' larger peer group) that someone likes only because they can act elitist and sophisticated OR they can they say they like something unique different from everyone else. In bad cases, should the band break into the mainstream, they will suddenly disavow their fanship.
As a phenomenon, the term can be applied to individual artists. Most associated with genres with strong anti-authoritarian tendencies like punk, indie rock or hip hop, but can be applied to a wide range of situations, like random American fans of J-pop who really only like it because they can feel special, in contrast to true appreciators.
Sometimes associated with hipsters, or rather, their imitators.
Nevertheless everyone needs a dose of identity band sometimes. The opposite excess, where your playlist is entirely composed of songs off the top 40 lists, is a much worse sin.

It doesn't matter how massively popular Coldplay is, Arjun is self-confident enough that he doesn't have an identity band crisis for liking them.
Person 1: I liked Kid Cudi and Kanye better when they were underground.
Person 2: Please tell me you're not into that insecure identity band shit.

Get the Cyber Identity Theftmug. Alright. Time to get to work.
Hym "No. Your identity does not need to be 'nested in a relationship.' See what I mean about 'The Chosen'? And not Joe Rogan's retarded shit trying to repurpose my shit. They legitimately believe that if a woman hasn't signed off on you, if you haven't been ordained, you don't have an identity. This is what you get when men use woman to validate their existence. Like... No. Identity has nothing to do with being in a relationship. Woman aren't selecting for functionality. Golden state killer had a wife and kids. Wayne gacy had a wife and kids. Ted bundy great with women had intimate relationships (and to the chick that wrote the song in response to this: No if you met Ted bundy you'd be a blue, jizz filled corpse). It also isn't pretend world where you can be tri-gender fox spirit but that's neither here nor there. Your identity is a configuration of traits and deeds, is both internal and external, and what people like to do now-a-days is falsify their identity with the help of others.

Jordan Peterson isn't 'not a charlatan' because he isn't a charlatan. He's 'not charlatan' because the people who are willing to hold water for him are willing to pretend for him. They WON'T pretend that you're a woman if you're a biological male. But they WILL pretend that is motherfucker isn't just making shit up. Like, he's been thrown into this position of faux spiritual leader but it's predicated on false premise that he 'was stabding up for disaffected yound men' and that he 'believes in God'. Neither of which are the case. And now as the self-appointed translator of God's book and the arbiter of sin and when sin is irrelevant, he just males shit up. Because his followers can't think and, therefore, will accept his propositions (whole sale) blindly because they are told by a bought and paid-for media system. Seriously, a guy whose identity IS A FALSEHOOD is telling people what constitutes a 'real' identity. It needs to be 'nested' he says. Why? What about it needs to be nested? What happens if it isn't? Well, people can just make shit up about you or deny your existence. It creates the need FOR YOUR IDENTITY TO BE VALIDATED. That's the purpose of his entire point. His position creates the need for peoples identities to be validated in spite of the fact that your identity is independent from other people. Evidence? You ask? How do I know it's independent from other people? You fail alone and you die alone."

Get the Identitymug. When someone/a company creates a new brand identity and it is boring and blah (bland) - doesn't do anything for the brand and is pretty much worse than the brand was to begin with.
Customer 1: Did you notice the new logo for that computer store.
Customer 2: Yeah man, but it's boring. They didn't do anything to it. All they did was get themselves a new bland identity. They'll go under in a month.

Get the Bland Identitymug. "Identity Superposition" is the concept that one's sense of self is not fixed but exists in a state of uncertainty, influenced by internal and external factors. Similar to Schrödinger's cat being both alive and dead until observed, personal identity is in a superposition of possibilities until experienced.
For example, imagine a person who feels confident and outgoing in social situations but introspective and reserved when alone. Their identity is fluid, shifting between these states depending on the context. This fluidity reflects the idea of existing in a superposition of identities until observed or experienced by themselves or others.

John's experience of "Identity Superposition" became evident when he noticed how he felt like a completely different person at work, where he was assertive and authoritative, compared to when he was with his close friends, where he became more relaxed and playful.
