young creative

A bohemian-like young artist, writer, or designer.

"The newcomers, called the "young creatives" by local economists, have helped give Portland the reputation over the past two decades for being one of the hippest cities in the country.

Now, they are trying to hang on while hanging out." -MSNBC, "Portland's 'young creatives' tough it out

hipster

A insecure label, that a snobby young creative (bohemian) uses to call other young creatives snobby.

"Oh, this coffee shop is too overrun with hipsters. I'm going back to mine to read Catcher in the Rye with an espresso."
