    (n.) One who follows the philosophy of [existentialism].
    Existentialists get a [bad rap] due to the fact that some retards treat it as if its a philosophy of despair. However, its quite the contrary. While the philosophy does state that life has no meaning, the notion is not intended to make the individual powerless, but rather empowered to live life with a sense of exuberance and accomplishment in order to give meaning to his/her existence.
    Furthermore, existentialism emphasizes individuality and personal responsibility for the ramifications that come with being an individual. Since the individual possesses the freedom of choice to choose his/her experiences and non-experiences, he/she is solely the one responsible for the consequences that come with these actions and non-actions.
    [In laymans terms], you shouldnt be a bitch and direct the finger of blame at somebody else for the shitty decisions you make in the process of finding yourself.
    (adj.) Genearlly, a bullshit term the valley girls of the intellectual world will apply to describe, fallaciously, something synonymous to angsty/edgy but, still, like, totally cool. These sentiments further [tarnish] the existentialist movement.

                  An existentialist is an individual or philosopher who subscribes to the philosophy of existentialism. This philosophy posesses the underlying belief that life has no intrinsic meaning or value, and it emphasizes individual existence, freedom, choice, and personal responsibility. It upholds that individuals are free and responsible agents determining their own development through acts of will.
