    I truly had no idea the English name was similar to the French one. TIL something.

        Indeed, but just to be sure, is the meaning the same? The lower fringe/extremity of the bourgeoisie, often with more cultural capital than economical (teachers, non-pauperized nurses, young journalists, PhD in social sciences, etc.), joyfully rebellious but also with high levels of strict adherence to the established order, main agents of the gentrification of formerly popular urban neighborhood but whose younger generations can sometimes adhere to revolutionary perspectives, strongly despised by orthodox marxists while being the primary audience of such movements/orgs?

            Interesting thanks. Close enough but maybe different cultural overtones. I must admit I didn’t take time to check a more consistent definition as I’m 65% taking a nap.
