A crossover between a hipster and a trustafarian. Lives self-indulgently, wears cheap flip flops, and uses essential oils in lieu of other body fragrances. Uses disposable income to create an intricate and artistic personal image, and doesn't care if anyone notices or not. Abides by the hipster commandment: "Shun thee the popular and the trite." A hipstafarian generally maintains a lazy and careless relationship with current events and politics and would probably much rather discuss a pine tree they saw earlier. Basically these folks smoke a tidy amount of weed on the regular.
when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.
This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
