braggartist 

Self-important or artistically-inclined person whose only conversation topics center around himself, his art, and his isolation from pop-culture and society. Extremely vocal; unable or unwilling to accept that not everything “mainstream” is bad. Typically wears Bohemian garb and listens to public radio; is unreasonably proud of his “reject” status in society. Frequently found in and around Liberal Arts colleges.

I am sick and tired of listening to Meredith talk about how no one understands her or her art. She is such a braggartist.

You know, there’s “good” eclectic, and then there’s “bad” eclectic. I’m all for soy nuts and public radio, but some of these braggartists are just crazy.
