Phrase of the day: fauxhemian. It says everything my former phrase "post-bohemian reconstructed Victorian hippy, with a Trustafarian edge" says but more succinctly. Clearly. The essence of the piece is that "you can be mainstream and alternative, a grown-up and a hipster, all at the same time"; just an old-fashioned Thatcherite on-yer-bike I-want-it-all thing, then.
Coined by Rob Walker, a freelance writer in New Orleans, and first used in his fab article Fauxhemian Rhapsody in the New York Times a couple of years back.
