Fauxhemia 

Areas so full of "hipsters" and posers that seem trendy, until you realize that to afford rent there means a normal safe job, or daddy's trust fund.

Williamsburg, Brooklyn and the new updated and Starbucks infused Lower Eastside of NYC are "Fauxhemias." Hoxton in the UK would be another Fauxhemia, as well as Shimo-kitazawa in Tokyo.

Aged Scenster - "Hey, we just put a down-payment on a condo in Billyburg."
Young rich trendster - "Awww good luck in Fauxhemia, but I don't cross rivers."

fauxhemian 

A conformist passing herself off as a nonconformist by going to great lengths to conform to an allegedly nonconforming alternative conformity rather than conforming to the mainstream conformity that she thinks is stiflingly conformist.

Marked by a notable lack of originality and creativity, an absence of genuine artistic talent, and carefully maintained escape routes so that she can give up the game when it stops being convenient.

It costs her a lot of money to look so down-and-out." "Yeah, fauxhemianism is an expensive lifestyle.

fauxhemian 

Conforming to a safe, middle class lifestyle but with the superficial pretense of an alternative or Bohemian lifestyle.

People who live in Stoke Newington or read The Guardian may like to believe they maintain the values of their radical student days but the shallowness of their fauxhemian conceit would quickly be revealed if they were expected to sacrifice some aspect of their comfortable lives.
