Hym "Your 'Identity' is literally you acting out a role. And now you've created this false dichotomy between doing the gender role and not having an identity. Additionally, people who are higher in trait openness are going to be more fluid in their personality. So you're contradicting the personality literature. That isn't 'not having an identity" it's 'being high in trait openness.' So, that's ridiculous. Are women reliably higher in trait openness? They're reliably more liberal. And liberalism is associated with being higher in trait openness (if I'm remembering correctly). So.... Yeah, that tracks. They're doing it right, I guess. Yeah, no, you lost me at no tattoos. I'm just not going to do that."

Get the Identitymug. 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 Family Identitiesmug. Post-Metaphorical Identity is the non-identification with any metaphorical sign, movement, characteristic, or collective as an individual. The Post-Metaphorical Identity school of thought is very similar to the Post-Racial school of thought, however the Post-Metaphorical Identity school is more strictly intellectual, less popular, and more strict in its final consideration of what is considered proper identity clauses in an educated populace.
Post-Metaphorical Identity is more literal, expansive, scientific, and agreed upon than any other identity signatures, such as white or black, as it is obvious to any apparent onlooker.

Get the Post-Metaphorical Identitymug. Every time he goes out people approach him on the street and tell them how much he helped them.... And he's like "What, wait... I never said that." And then he realizes that IT WASN'T HIM! IT WAS HYM! ME HYM! And then he cries like a bitch about it because he wants the 80,000 a month he gets on patreon but he KNOWS that he's defrauding them! He can't tell the truth because he'll lose everything! And NOW, he's trying to rally politicians behind him like Tulsi Gabbard and Dan Crenshaw, collude with the media, BEGGING them to protect him so he can pretend to be a religious thought leader! Even though HIS THOUGHTS aren't what made those people throw their money at him! Lookathimlookathimlookathim! He's "Duplicitous" now! Ahahahahahaha! Look. He's going to try to beat me to the punch and kill the creature before me. Jordan... If a casual gaze from me was enough to SHEAR YOU TO YOUR CORE... What are YOU going to do the the creature!? If The Humbling River that is my soul washing over you was enough to rend the spirit from your meat Gundam... What hope do you possibly have against the creature? What are you going to do when I get there!? Silence me!? Super-bosses are immune to status effects you idiot! What accessory do you think I have equipped!? AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHA! AAAAAAAHAHAAAAA! Take a guess! AND I'M SUPPOSED TO HUMBLE MYSELF BEFORE HIM!? And not ME Hym but HIM HIM!? BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What happens when you kill it, Jordan?
What are YOU going to do when the creature RESURRECTS ITSELF FROM THE DEAD!? BET YOU DIDN'T THINK OF THAT! Did you!? All of the religious people that watch and I bet NOT A SINGLE ONE OF YOU THOUGHT OF THAT! Ye of little faith! I bet you all thought "You can't kill God" or "God isn't real". And THAT is exactly how I know that you can't do it! It's too late. You didn't think of it fast enough. 0 out of 9 billion. You know what? If you thought of it, good for you, you clearly get it. So, what I'm going to do is take challengers inbetween rounds and whoever thought of it gets first dibs.
