RocknRolla 

People ask the question... what's a RocknRolla? And I tell 'em - it's not about drums, drugs, and hospital drips, oh no. There's more there than that, my friend. We all like a bit of the good life - some the money, some the drugs, other the sex game, the glamour, or the fame. But a RocknRolla, oh, he's different. Why? Because a real RocknRolla wants the fucking lot.

RocknRolla 

The Real Rocknrolla, someone who lives to the fullest, not afraid of anything, doesn't care about your status, your privilege, not impressed with anyone with anything. Camus bypasses the absurd with revolt passion and action. Camus is The Real RocknRolla amongst philosophers. The Real RockNrolla is also a Mickey-Pickey (Brad Pitt) from movie Snatch (Gay Ritchies' movie also), and TRRockNRolla is also a Tyler Durden from Fight Club. All RockNrollas' are Enneagram Type 7 (Adventurer, Enthusiast...) Also, Arsene Lupin from Jean-Paul Salomés' 2004 movie "Arsene Lupin" played by Romain Duris is a RockNrolla. Vincent Cassel from the movie Birthday girl with Nicole Kidman is a real RockNrolla. It's not an Alpha Male. He don't give a shit about all that Alpha Male popular-syndrome cliché stuffs. He doesnt consider himself an Alpha Male, nor as a lider of the pack. He minds his own business and does want your nose in his. "Live and let live, but don't fuck with me"- is a motto of a RocknRolla.

Personally, I love the most the Mickey-Pickey (Brad Pitt) from Snatch.

the type who doesn't look at the first sight as a badass, nor he gives that impression, but, if you try to mess with him, or with his way of life...hes an ultimate badass.
Dude 1.: Hey, look at that skinny guy, he drinks whiskey and smokes cigarette before his boxing match against a much bigger guy...

Dude 2. Yeah, hes crazy...don't worry bout him, he is astreet boxing champion, and have a hardest -punch. One punch-knockout...

Dude 1. Fuck, bro...Hes a real RockNrolla....

Rocking The Roll 360 

Most commonly used in the middle of a pandemic. When there is a toliet paper shortage, so you use absolutely every shred of paper and cardboard on that role has to offer, at least twice.
"I haven't been getting any toliet paper lately, it's just to dangerous."

"Dang bro, how do you wipe that butt then?"

"I've been Rocking The Roll 360"

Rockinroller 

A rockinroller is a usually upper-class nostalgic hard rock fan in their 40s, most notably defined by their pseudo-underground clothing. Rockinrollers are united in their mid-life crisis, party atmosphere, fashion, and millions of dollars. The rockinroller subculture/clique is mainly located in Las Vegas or wherever a rockinroller's private jet may take him. Rockinrollers are usually celebrities, but all share the same insecurity of age which is part of the motivation behind the rockinroller's state of mind: "I may be old but I am still a badass. Bring the hookers!".

One distinct element of the rockinroller is the fashion. Customized leather products, tight pants, luxury brands, top hats, bandanas, ripped denim, and crooked stitching are the norm. The fashion combines elements of goth, vampire, steampunk, biker, eurotrash, and rich douchebag subculture. Rockinrollers wear anything that is "COOL": black leather, black jeans, black hats, black hair, black shoes, and some things that are ripped up but stitched back together. The rockinroller subculture is defined by upper class hedonism, livin' the good life, and being just another rock n rolling bad ass still going at it! Not all rockinrollers are musicians, some are magicians and even visual artists (e.g. Chris Angel, Michael Godard).

Notable examples of famous rockinrollers:
Nikki Sixx
Chris Angel
Jyrki 69
Michael Godard
Steven Tyler
DJ Ashba
Rockinroller: (gravely voice) I remember when I shot heroin with Axl Rose and drove a motorbike off a cliff. I was laughing like a motherfucker!
Rockinroller 2: Yeahhhhhhh those were the days. I wish I could go back then and shoot more heroin with Ozzy.
Rockinroller: We're seeing him tonight at the House of Blues right? (strumming a PRS)
Rockinroller 2: That would be bad ass lets do it! Yeee (pouring scotch into a Godard flaming dice glass)

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
