cosmopolitics

N. A term coined for describing the phenomenom of teenagers who think it is cool to follow politics or participate in teen-leadership groups such as JSA. Such people are cosmopoliticians. To be used in a negative connotation.

Ben spends so much time debating with JSA and reading the Wall Street Journal. Jumped right onto the cosmopolitics bandwagon.
