List of lifestyles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a partial list of lifestyles that can be found in the 21st century. For the purpose of this list, lifestyle is defined as any habits of social relations, consumption, dress, and recreation that are important enough to significantly influence the lives of a sector of the population, and hence can be used as a basis of social classification.
It is worth noting that these are not strict and well-definied categories; there may be considerable overlap between many of them, and an individual may identify as belonging to, or enjoying the activities associated with, more than one group. In addition, many of these categories themselves contain subclasses and subcultures.
