Pretentious

The medical term for when someone manages to get their head so far up their own ass, that you could consider it a medical emergency.

Some call it serious but most people just call it annoying.

More common amongst teens usually emo or goth, but can still be spotted in adults. Best way to deal with these people is to just not give them the time of day.
