Lifestyle Anarchism
Probably the most easily noticed group, these anarchists may not be in the majority of the anarchist community, but they tend to take up a disproportionate amount of attention considering how extreme and obnoxious they tend to be in their beliefs. They largely define themselves as simply opposing modern culture and government, and tend to have nihilistic views that are more informed by postmodernism than traditional leftism. They tend to mix their beliefs with a lot of New Age woo and try to make statements through counterculture-esque acts. They are loathed by other anarchists (to the point of some, such as Murray Bookchin, denying they are even anarchists) because they are usually more interested in making a provocative statement than actually organizing and trying to improve society, and tend to scare people away from "Anarchism" by associating it with kooks. Rightly or wrongly they are usually characterized (not least by other anarchists) more as middle-to-upper class kids going through a rebellious stage than actually caring about anarchist theory, instead using it as a shallow excuse to fight "The Man".
Unlike other forms of anarchy, which are often very clearly on the political left, these forms of anarchy have a weird tendency to be so "out there" that it ends up in the weird space in between where the far-left bends into the far-right.
