A person, generally well-dressed, of little practical worth. These people tailor their every aspect to impress their equally worthless peers, but have no practical skills. A burden on society.
A trinket forfeits his or her own opinions, ideals, and personality to fit in with whatever social group with which they have aligned themselves, they often make up for their transparent personality by dressing quite conspicuously to fit in with their 'friends'.
Extreme cases of trinketism show a complete lack of ambition outside the main objective of impressing their companions, some of these cases expend so much effort on this front that they never grow into a responsible, contributing member of society.
Synonymous with Tool,Poser and Worthless.
Used in slightly different context can be synonymous with Punk, Hoodlum, Delinquent and other related terms.
