"[...] broad amongst anarchists along the perameters I've defined in previous posts."

You mean the five people which meet your definition of anarchist?

Among most anarchists, the word lifestylism is commonly defined as:

"people who live the lifestyle but don't embrace the politics."

In other words, punks who dress like punk anarchists, but don't give a damn about politics.

Now, I may dress like an anarchist on occasion, but as somebody said the other day, "he [Chuck0] looks like an accountant."
