(from Steampunk motif of brass goggles)
- Late adopter of a scene who commonly gets credit for exemplying it through the use of a single, high-concept visual symbol, ie, brass goggles, anatomical corsets.
Characterized by simultaneous need to be identified with, and deep resentment of, the innovators of the trend they emulate. Self-image dependent on imaginary placement in percieved hierarchy of originality.
Often deliberately and defensively ignorant about true roots of their chosen aesthetic scene; more often just unaware.
Not to be confused with Babelfish Travelers.
Predessors include Drugstore Cowboy, Parking-Lot DeadHead and "Camp" Follower.

Get the Thot Gogglesmug. noun: a point of view one holds for a movie, tv show or other form of entertainment that you adored as a child, so much so that as an adult, despite reflecting on it and realizing it is sub-par or flawed, you still think of it as excellent.
Conversely, someone who never experienced it as a child and does so for the first time as an adult might think it is awful and not understand why people adore it.
References the 1985 film "The Goonies," a children's movie with numerous technical flaws and editing mistakes, plot holes, terrible child acting and overall nonsense that had an atrocious critical reception but is beloved to adults who watched it as children.
