[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are striver and Boujie the same? [/quote] Not quite in my view (though this could be idiosyncratic). I think of Striver as someone who tends to be a bit crass and angsty about social climbing. They are often gauche about what counts as "elite" and/or make odd things into a competition for elite status. I think of Bougie as someone who tends to be kind of self-indulgent and likes luxury whether or not they can actually afford it. They feel they deserve it. Sometimes they like genuinely like the luxuries, sometimes they are chasing prestige. But I think of them as tending more oblivious and lazy and wanting status though rather than angsty, gauche and competitive about status.[/quote]
