Midriff is a coin termed by Douglass Rushkoff of PBS's "Frontline" on an episode entitled "Merchants of Cool." Midriffs are young girls and women(teens-early 20s) whos behavior is a curious mixture of "innocent" and "slutty." Midriff culture is fairly standardized and quite conformist. Their behaviour seems centered around sexuality, narcissism, and complete lack of brains. Rushkoff argued that mass-media replaces teenage individuality with a glorified archetype; midriffs, when referring to females. Hypersexuality and shallowness are often attributed to teenage girls(and something that parents of every generation complain about), so the behavior isn't necissarly new, nonetheless, the notion of Midriff culture being a standardized and conformist patten of behavior rather than youthful exhuberance is scary indeed.

Opposide of Midriffs are Mooks; boneheaded morons and drunken fratboys.
Britney Spears was given as an example of a Midriff icon.

Midriffs are the norm of teenager's clothing. Teenage girls tend to wear midriff-baring outfits to look sexy, and to attract males.
Jessica walked up to her boyfriend Jason, and decided to show off her midriff, thus making Jason feel sexually attracted. He said "I love teen midriffs!" Then, Jessica helped Jason take off all of his clothes, thus making him naked as an elephant. Then, Jason's penis began to sway back and forth and sticks straight up at the sky, thus making it now erect. Jessica then started to touch the erect penis and said "I love erect penises! They're so strong!" And she kissed the snout of the hard-on.

Midriff Crisis 

Any middle aged women who dresses inappropriately and/or sports a belly ring. She may also have a relatively new tramp stamp which can be seen because she dresses like she's twenty-something instead of 40 (or over). She is almost always a divorcee and thinks of herself as a cougar.
Barb: "I was at the mall yesterday and saw Karen shopping at Urban Outfitters. What the hell is she thinking?"

Jessica: "No big surprise. She got her belly pierced last month and is entertaining a tramp stamp. Maybe we should stage a Midriff Crisis intervention."
