Neo-Permie 

An adopter of the permaculture movement that flat out refuses to admit that some modern things aren't worth giving up. Often, these crusaders for a more pure life experience remain confined to fiat currency producing, home-based IT jobs. Sightings are common near aircrete geodesic domes and tiny homes, often wandering in search of a 5G signal.
