Trendus

Trendus, derived from 'trendy', 'trendies'.

A trendus is someone who carefully cultivates an interest in literature, modern art and experimental music, and is often seen wearing fairtrade knitwear from Oxfam, skinny jeans, and thick-rimmed nerd glasses with no prescription.

A trendus will never admit to being a trendus. He believes that he is highly individual, but won't hesitate to point the finger at other trenduses (or trendii).

Trenduses may be found in huge numbers in the English Faculty of Oxford University, and at folk festivals, sipping gin out of Cliff Richard mugs.

Here are some typical trenduses in the wild:

"The idiots are self-regarding consumer slaves, oblivious to the paradox of their uniform individuality. They sculpt their hair to casual perfection, they wear their waist-bands below their balls, they babble into hand-held twit machines about that cool email of the woman being bummed by a wolf. Their cool friend made it. He's an idiot too. Welcome to the age of stupidity. Hail the rise of the... TRENDUS". - Nathan Barley, 2005

The more Kesha hung around this dude, the more she began to notice that he had some real bitch-like-tendencies (BLT's). He was more drama-filled than her regular chicken headed crew.

Trendy-Ice

An adjective describing a setting or a person's appearance. "Trendy-Ice" refers to people or places that believe they are the coolest ever and simply ahead of the curve. The seemingly hottest fashion trends or styles can be described as "trendy-ice". If the person/place exhibiting them wants everyone else to know that they are too cool for school, then they may be an example of "T-Ice". New York City is where Trendy-Ice happens. Keep an eye out for a tool or a venue near you.
Saturday Night in NYC. Uber-discrete locale. It's $14 beer night. Velvet rope, bouncer with ear piece, dance music bumpin'. Crew rolls in looking like a cross between an Armani runway and a Zoolander runway. Now that's TRENDY-ICE!

Trendhopper

Someone who relies on trends to seem "cool" or "quirky" instead of creating their own unique style. Trendhopping is extremely common when it comes to clothing, but really, it can occur around anything that's popular (music styles, singers/bands/other artists, tv shows, etc). Trendhoppers will manage to turn a style of clothing into a personality trait for as long as the trend lasts. Once it ends, they either move onto something else, or go back to basic jeans and a t-shirt.
