Drifter

Drifters are people who move from clique to clique, without comforming completey to any, naming themselves as Drifters in an effort to fight back against stereotypes. It's possible to identify them through a belt hanging from one belt loop. However, this style has become more mainstream in some areas.

Drifter

A drifter is a homeless person often found in big coastal cities. They usually roam to different areas every once in a while, but never stay permanently. 2 big things different about a hobo and a drifter is hobos tend to rely on help while drifters are always self-reliant. Another thing is a hobo never moves to town to town like a drifter. If you do see a hobo wandering to different areas, that's a homeless person, not a hobo

Hey look, it's a drifter somewhere from Boston!
