description   good   bad

looks
face, phisique, car, clothes, house ...
  anti-labels so clothes are all op-shop, hippy shop or designer (themselves or obscure). cut their own hair. one or two peircings and tattoos but not too full on. live in cheap rental property but do their own decorating with funky, arty stuff.   usually pale from not enough time in sun. have to wait for bad self-haircuts to grow out. either no car or a cheapass one.

society interaction
sex, love, marriage, parents, friends ...
  sex with partner (gay or straight), love everyone, no marriage, moved out of home and acts conservative around parents, makes friends easily with people like them, especially musicians, hippies, art students, greenies, etc   loves to bag out the trend-following people who think that because the latest trend is 'alternative', that makes them a real alternative. hates people who listen to pop music. hates brand-name people.

activities
job, hobby, sport, illegal ...
  drinking wine and coffee, eating lush food (cheeses, olives, mushrooms, mangoes etc), complaining about the government, protest rallys, going to raves, listening to alternative music (jazz, triphop, folk, blues, pink floyd etc), smoking cigarettes and pot, taking speed or e's, hippy stuff like firetwirling, stencilling and hackysac. arty stuff like poetry and painting. In other words, lots of hobbies. and illegal stuff because they dont let themselves be repressed by the government. go to uni to get money from the government.   too many toxins and not enough sport. always has late nights so will be tired and need sunnies outside.
no job.

character
motivation, temperament ...
  varys depending on what drugs they are on.   has mood swings and brain is slightly messed up due to all the drugs they've had in the past.

future
what will this personality stereotype achieve ...
  either they will stay like this their whole life and probably end up growing pot, or they will strike lucky and get a good job and then they will become a yuppie.   will probably need counselling, either when they realise how elitist they are, or when the drugs start to affect them permanently.
