Fauxhemian, or fauxbo, refers to wealthy people and places that carry a pretense of artistic sophistication. Fauxhemians think they are artsy, when really they are more fartsy, as their great wealth and comfortable lifestyles keep them from authentic expression, familiarity with the street, and any real impetus to truly oppose the system (since they still benefit too much from it).
#4 definition of fauxhemian, from the Urban Dictionary.
I find it interesting that the writer assumes that “great wealth and comfortable lifestyles” keep people from “authentic expression,” when I had always assumed that I’d only have the opportunity to create something great if I had the time and resources.
