hypebeast
Hype-driven consumer
A hypebeast is someone obsessively devoted to acquiring trendy, often expensive streetwear and sneakers—less for personal style than for status and social media clout.
The term is usually disparaging, suggesting someone who chases whatever brands or products are currently hyped rather than developing genuine taste: He's such a hypebeast, camping out for every Supreme drop.
