What is Tragically Hip?
1.
Being so obsessed with keeping up with the latest retro or counter-culture fads and social pretensions that you lose your ability to think for yourself and suppress any originality you may have ever had. In the process of doing this you completely embarrass yourself but since you're so hip you don't care what lesser mortals think of you.
