Trad

Internet obsessed subculture of young people disenchanted with the ills of the modern world. They are a bit like hippies—if the hippies decided that embracing old fashioned clothes, hobbies, political positions, gender roles, and so forth was the most effective way to rebel against the dehumanizing aspects of modern society. In reality, a lot of trad subculture is purely performative and contradictory—as might be expected of an anti-modern movement that exists mostly on… the internet.

Why are so many of my Twitter followers Trad? I'm going to post more about Polyamory to scare them off.

Rad Trad

A short form of the term Radical Traditionalist. A 'Rad Trad' is a Catholic who adheres to pre-1960's traditions, especially the Latin Mass in favour of the Novus Ordo (post-Vatican II mass). They're basically hardcore for all things pre-Vatican II and they reject aspects of modern Catholicism. Most would consider themselves in union with the Catholic Church, though.

"Lately, after Mass, he keeps on saying how he wishes our parish had Latin Mass instead. I’m starting to think he might be turning into a Rad Trad."
