Definitions for neophilia: Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001)
:
neophilia /nee`oh-fil'-ee-*/ n. The trait of being excited and pleased
by novelty. Common among most hackers, SF fans, and members of several
other connected leading-edge subcultures, including the pro-technology
`Whole Earth' wing of the ecology movement, space activists, many
members of Mensa, and the Discordian/neo-pagan underground (see geek).
All these groups overlap heavily and (where evidence is available) seem
to share characteristic hacker tropisms for science fiction, {music},
and {oriental food}. The opposite tendency is `neophobia'.
