Trendus

Trendus, derived from 'trendy', 'trendies'.

A trendus is someone who carefully cultivates an interest in literature, modern art and experimental music, and is often seen wearing fairtrade knitwear from Oxfam, skinny jeans, and thick-rimmed nerd glasses with no prescription.

A trendus will never admit to being a trendus. He believes that he is highly individual, but won't hesitate to point the finger at other trenduses (or trendii).

Trenduses may be found in huge numbers in the English Faculty of Oxford University, and at folk festivals, sipping gin out of Cliff Richard mugs.

Here are some typical trenduses in the wild:

"The idiots are self-regarding consumer slaves, oblivious to the paradox of their uniform individuality. They sculpt their hair to casual perfection, they wear their waist-bands below their balls, they babble into hand-held twit machines about that cool email of the woman being bummed by a wolf. Their cool friend made it. He's an idiot too. Welcome to the age of stupidity. Hail the rise of the... TRENDUS". - Nathan Barley, 2005

trends'ter

As a result of the vastly overused and often misused term "hipster", a new word to represent the original values of the hipster subculture has been summoned. That word...is "trends'ter". With an apostrophe to throw off the croc-footed masses, the hybword trends(et)ter is defined simply as: An individual in modern society who does not follow trends, but sets them. Not by setting out to set them, but by shrugging off the call of corporate/media/brand driven ethnocentric mainstream and embracing their individuality, freeing their imagination, securing themselves with knowledge, keeping in touch with unbias truth, wearing whatever the fuck they want, and looking good doing it.
Barbie doll: Holy Prada these pants are to die for.

Ed Hardy hand puppet: Um, wasn't that Sloane betch like totally wearing these bell bottoms last year?

Barbie doll: OMG, you are like so right. Too bad they're like totes in now, that trashy hipster betch is so off trend.

Ed Hardy hand puppet: Um, I dont know but, um, i think maybe, um...i think maybe she's like a trends'ter.

Barbie doll: Whoa. You're talking like a flimsy whore again.

Ed Hardy hand puppet: Oh, um, sorry...you're right.
