Trenchcoat mafia

[Justin Bieber]

A loosely aligned group of misfits at Columbine High School in the time of the Columbine Shootings. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were members of the Threnchcoat Mafia. Harris and Klebold had advocated killing jocks but ended up doing something wrong instead. Trenchcoat Mafia now indicates any similar group of losers with a patina of simmering menace.

The Trenchcoat Mafia was just a gropu of friends who started wearing trenchcoats as a result of one of the members mothers buying one for him. The other members followed it because they liked the look. They were dubbed the Trenchcoat Mafia because someone had insulted them with the term and instead of seeing it as an insult they embraced it. It was also the group that Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris were associated with. Contrary to popular belief they were NOT members. They happened to be friends with on of the members, Chris Morris. The Trenchcoat Mafia was used as a scapegoat in the wake of the Columbine shootings. And even though Klebold and Harris wore trenchcoats on the day of their attack, they did not wear them regularly.

Any group of individuals that are harassed because of their appearance or behavior, usually while in school. This group is often plotting revenge against their detractors. Term taken from the group at Columbine High School.
