A pretentious art student (usually in college) who listens to nothing but obscure indie and art rock bands (besides Death Cab, Radiohead, Interpol, The Strokes, Belle and Sebsastian, and Sonic Youth). They wear black-rimmed square glasses, a track jacket with stripes on the side, tight corduroy pants that are ripped, Chuck Taylors or Vans, man purses (even the girls), and some sort of hair farming technique (on black people, it's an afro with dreads).

Usually from Austin TX, The elusive art fag can be found at your local whole foods or HEB shopping in the organic section for some taro root chips and some tree bark jerky. at night they perform abstract arts at the many venues in Austin. Such shows include standing in the center of a canvas, pouring a milkshake on his head then spinning in circles yelling some non sense about trees while riding a unicycle and playing a violin with one string.

Kids who like Art, and know it is their forte. They do art, appreciate art, and talk with other art fags about art. It happens to be their thing. Other people are jealous because art is a difficult concept and they don't have the capacity or the introduction to understand it. They make petty hatred posts on Urbandictionary, and are unfriendly too the art fags who sit in the back of class and talk about their latest painting, while everyone else goes on about one tree hill or Halo 3 or American Idol or whatever.
Aint nothing wrong with liking Art. I'm and Art Fag and PROUD of it.
We can't all like sport. I happen to have found a way to express my feelings through painting. I never claimed to be an empiricist. I'm an art fag, so sue me.
David and Harry tended not to talk to Sarah and Gab in Maths. They were always being art fags and talking about Dali or Oils vs. Watercolors or whatever. David hated them for being art fags. And cause they never did math.

Some self righteous, privilaged cunt who exploits graffiti culture by doing murals and making money from shite stencil art. Street Artists aren't Graff Writers!

That girl from your Art History 101 class who wears hobo-chic apparel (large-framed glasses are a must), has Anna Karina bangs, worships Tracey Emin and/or Andy Warhol, frequents the local art house to catch the latest Harmony Korine film, frequents independent art galleries (ie, White Box and The James Fuentes Gallery in NYC) to view the latest New Ukrainian Painting installation, and reads Adorno for "fun" whilst sipping red tea, black coffee, box wine, and/or PBR. Probably listens to a lot of Serge Gainsbourg as well. Fits in very well in the designated hipster area of town.
Art fag must be in this definition.

People who obsess over art, music, and poetry and think they're so unique even though there are millions of them.
Those guys are a bunch of art fags.
