trustafarian

A rich young white person, from a mansion house in the shires, usually with trust funds from mummy and daddy yet pretends he is poor. This species, more often than not, have dreadlocks, wear ethnic clothing, play the digeree-doo, dodge soap and generally mope around thinking they alternative and above everyone else. Over the last 20 years or so they have infested India, Thailand and Nepal under the premise they are travellers, not tourists. Most will end up working for their daddy as a venture capitalist.

Look at that trustafian sitting there twiddling his dreadlocks. What a c**t.

trustafarian peacock

A trustafarian peacock is an extremely image and fashion-conscious person, often with dreadlocks, who does not work but has access to plenty of money. A species of rich “glamour-hippie” who is particularly obsessed with dressing up sexy, preening, and showing off. They wear dreadlocks, tight-fitting custom leather, trendy tribal jewelry, sexy boots, masks, feathers, furs and fedoras. Unlike the traditional granola trustafarians who pretend to be poor and earthy – the peacock types like to flaunt their freedom and joy to the world. As it’s hard for them to relate with most adults - they often form exclusive cliques of uber-fashionable adult “kids” with the same psychological issues and fully-subsidized lifestyles, often thinking of themselves as "costume performance artists" and post-modern dancers. Trustafarian Peacocks can most easily be sighted on the West Coast, and in places where former hippie influences have cross-bred with big money – such as San Francisco, Ashland, Maui, Bali and at the Burning Man festival.

That El Circo party was a total "who's who" of tribal-glam pousers and trustafarian peacocks.

rastafarian

Origins in Jamaca and deeply rooted in africa culture, this religion was the medium for those who opposed the oppression of Babylon, to speak out and live a rightious life as it is written, whilst beeing proud of their own roots and movements.
Rasta eat a diet of veg fruit and fish, keep their bodies mind and sould healthy by staying active in global issues, and moving to brake the shackles of Babylons oppression. One method to this freedom is Ganja, which is believed to have gorwn on King Solomons' grave. Ganja lets the Rasta see what Babylon denies because of their greed and corruption. (Babylon refers directly to white oppression against the black ppl at the time of this movement; and now represents global oppression and repression).

"say I hear the voice of a rastaman say, babylon yo' throne gone down..."

RASTAFARIAN

A common religion amongst black jamaicans that look up to the past Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie. One of their most famous acts is to smoke marijuana as a symbol of religious practice. To be rastafarian one doesn't have to be black in fact to be rastafarian it has to come from the heart. Another famous practice is that of dreads on their heart.

Haile Selassie and Bob Marley

crustafarian

See trustafarian and crusty.

An even crustier version of a trustafarian. No less well off. Most likely listens to breakcore as supposed to psytrance, the genre of music commonly listened to by the latter.

While a trustafarian may reject wider society due to a sense of being a more highly conscious and considerate being than others (often after chronic over-use of psychedelic drugs), a crustafarian tends to do so because of laziness, a lack of respect for those who support them and a tendency to be more interested in where they will score there next quarter of ket (local demand often outstrips supply due to their favorable allowances and lack of self respect) or when the next Bong-Ra or Venetian Snares gig is.

Crustafarian 1:
"Shall we go to the (insert name of alternative electronic music festival here)?"

Crustafarian 2:
"Fuck yeah, but first I'll have to drop out of the degree my parents are paying for and go to Bristol to pick up 5 litres of liquid ket."

Crustafarian 1:
"Safe then, I'll book the tickets tomorrow with the money I got when my rich Aunt died and nick the keys to my Dad's Landrover."

proto-trustafarian

4. In a larger and more general context, a Trustafarian is someone who lives off of a trust-fund or off of rental income from property that he/she inherited. In previous centuries certain rich kids received stipends or allowences from their parents to live a cultured life (usually before settling down while looking for a suitable spouse, and later getting a sinecure in the family business) without actually working for it, those could be now called proto-trustafarians. Anyone who livess off of income he/she hasn't actually earned and keeps it quiet is a Trustafarian, who may in fact be, and often is a decendant of proto-trustifarians.

John's not only a trustifarian, he comes from a long line of proto-trustifarians, in the last 100 years the family has worked for maybe a year.

trustafarian

Several of these other definitions listed are correct as the word has fallen into more generalized usage, but the true origins of the word are as follows.

The word originates from "rastafarian", and denotes an extremely caucasian person, dreadlocked and trustfunded by their wealthy family; listen to reggae almost exclusively, pretend to follow the Rastafarian religion, for some reason worship the former leader of Ethiopia, Haile Sellassie I, and say things like "Roots!" and "Bup bup!" loudly across streets and alleys to the others of their species. They exist in a cloud of ganga smoke and a bleary, red eyed, dull demeanor; have little to say other than the regurgitated faux black guy verbage they spew. They affect the mannerisms, accent, and dialect of Jamaicans;wear the colors of the Rastafarian, red, gold, and green as well as hippie clothing made from kente cloth; the irony of the whole persona is beyond belief.

This odd affectation could possiby be a result of embarassment of one's true culture, which necessitated the hijacking of someone else's.

This persona could be viewed in abundance in the mountain town of Telluride, Colorado in the mid-90's, before they all cut their hair and became realtors and business owners. Their fake accents magically disappeared.

Trustafarian: Yo, man, Irie Ites! (tranlation, Hello Mister Real Live Black Man! Gosh darn, that's some good looking alkalizing organic vegan food you're about to consume!!!)

Actual Rastafarian: Fuck you rich white boy! What the fuck is wrong with you!!!???!!!
