Trustifarian 

A hipster. White- culturally if not ethnically child of the rich who likes to trendily pretend they are poor while they up prices in neighborhoods so much all the locals must leave. The worst of these sorry excuses for human beings live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Ick! Oh- also known for having an uncanny lack of dancing ability.
Let's leave this bar, there are too many trustifarians in this spot.

Sarah is a trustafarian. It's totally evidenced by the combination of her brand new car and nice digs with her "earthy" clothes and dreadlocks.

trustafarians 

Rich kids "slumming it" and thinking they're being cool by smoking pot and living out their "creative" fantasies that usually don't come to anything, in between travelling to exotic third world places like Bali, Morocco, or Thailand, more or less like a cross between a neohippie and a hipster (although there is considerable overlap between trustafarians and both of those other subcultures) commonly found in the Venice, Echo Park,Atwater Village, and Silver Lake neighborhoods in L.A. (although Silver Lake is getting a bit too expensive for all but the wealthiest trustafarians, so some are going to Hollywood and assuredly some will go to Koreatown soon if they haven't already). The term is derived from a combination of "trust fund" and "Rastafarian".
Abbott Kinney Blvd. in Venice is riddled with trustafarians who claim to be working on film scripts or doing art but nothing they're doing ever amounts to anything.,

Those guys that can afford to follow a Jam-Band around the country must be trustafarians or something.

Urban Trustafarian 

A rich white person who lives on trust funds from mummy and daddy but pretends to be are poor. They subscribe to a fake hippie lifestyle, kitted out in designer boho chic, eating expensive organic food, pretending to be anti-establishment and generally moping around thinking they alternative and above everyone else. They sometimes claim to work in media, but sit around all day drinking overpriced fairtrade coffee pretending to be intellectual or ironic. In cities like London, they tend to frequent areas like Hoxton, Shoreditch & Dalston. Most will eventually end up working for capitalist instituitons, the establishment or for mummy and daddy.

They are related to the Bourgeois Bohemian Bobo and the Shoreditch Twat / Hoxton Twat
Tarquin was a professional "Urban Trustafarian". He went on the anti-bank march, even though his dad was a CEO at a major financial institution. He fitted into the clique quite well with his Vice magazine chic, designer beard, tweeting regularly on his iphone 4 whilst playing the djembe really badly.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
