ecclectic

the less evident form of a hipster. They hold characteristics of a hipster, such as going to cafes and bookstores. they also enjoy vintage shopping, indie and foreign films. their taste in music usually reflects that of a hipster, and is usually more along the lines of indie rock. ecclectics care about how they look, but they also like to look as if they like to read too. they, in a large part, appreciate cultural events and lifestyles. they are the less extreme form of a hipster, and are very chill people who enjoy to discuss politics or music in general with a group of their friends over a good cup of coffee or tea. they are usually in college or straight out of college until about their late twenties. they don't go to just any music show in general, such as that of a scene kid, but rather they prefer a more chilled, laid back enviroment that usually varies between coffee shops, bookstores, flea markets, vintage shops, and local concert venues. For the girls, the makeup is not extreme, but tends to be more natural, and the boys usually wear tighter jeans. the boys and girls alike wear more earthy tones altogether and do not label themselves as hipsters, emo, scene,prep, or indie. but unbeknowingly, they might be a mix of all of the above.

the ecclectic kid grabbed the newest indie album before heading over to the small coffee shop to meet up with some friends fromt the vintage store.

eclectic funk

Someone who has various taste in music. Someone who is against all labels, even non-conforminism. They dress anyway that they want & act anyway that they want to as well. Shops just about anywhere & everywhere. Are usually very trendy & classy-looking people.

He loves to listen to 50 Cent, Britney Spears & Anti Flag. He is so eclectic funk.

Not only does she shop at Abercrombie & Fitch, but she loves Hot Topic as well. I love her eclectic funky taste.

Eclectica

The act of being Eclectic;

Having no set defined preference in, e.g. music.

Often doubts self image because many tastes cancel others out, e.g. Indie and Emo/ Pop and Metal/ Punk and Pop

"Becks is strange. We pay her out for being Emo, Indie, Hardcore, Punk, A Metal Head, a Rocker and a Drummer. But most of that stuff cancels the others out,"

"I know. Becks suffers Eclectica. The act of being Eclectic"

".... Weird..."

"Yet kinda cool,"

Eclectic

A mish mash of styles shoved together that look like shit

"I told you Vanessa you have no style, eclectic is not a style"

eclectic

Adjective used by artsy, liberal journalist types to describe just about any album ever produced. A record is particularly "electic" if its tracks vary between criticizing the world's power structures, commiserating about yucky, yucky girls, or talking about all the randomness that makes live "ever so worth living." In other words, it's about giving credence to incoherence.

Artsty journalist: This new album is so eclectic.
Reader: You always say that.
