酷抠族
“Cool carl” is a group of fashion icon quietly emerging
from thecurrent “clan” context. Just as the name suggests, those people possess the quality of being both “cool” and thrift as a “carl”. It is a kind of “stinginess” which is the latest trend and with a positive meaning because what the “cool carl” advocates is “saving glorious; waste shameful”. “Cool carl” is not necessarily poor or miserly but the kind of people with relatively high academic degrees and salaries. Their penny pinching can not be interpreted as mean but as thrift.
