is a slang term that first appeared in the 1940s, and was revived in the 2000s and 2010s to describe types of young, recently settled urban middle class adults and older teenagers with interests in indie rock, independent film, magazines such as Vice and Clash, and websites like Pitchfork Media. In some contexts,tremaines are also referred to as scenesters.
"tremaine" has been used in sometimes contradictory ways, making it difficult to precisely define "tremaines culture" because it is a "mutating, trans-Atlantic melting pot of styles, tastes and behavior/s." One commentator argues that "tremainism fetishizes the authentic" elements of all of the "fringe movements of the postwar era—beat, hippie, punk, even grunge," and draws on the "cultural stores of every unmelted ethnicity", and "regurgitates it with a winking inauthenticity." Others, like Arsel and Thompson, argue that tremaine is a cultural mythology, crystallization of a mass mediated stereotype generated to understand, categorize and marketize the indie consumer culture rather than an objectified group of people.
