Narcissim

To be a "Narcissist" is to be known as self loving and vain, the term is coined from the mythologic story of Narcissus; whom was renowned for his good looks and beauty. Narcissus was very arrogant due to his beauty, and as divine punishment was captivated by his reflection in a pool and as a result wasted away to death staring at his reflection.

The story of Narcissus has been many times reflected in poular culture, especially rock and pop music: Bob Dylans song "License to Kill" refers indirectly to Narcissus: "Now he worships at an altar of a stagnant pool /And when he sees his reflection, he's fulfilled." Punk band The Libertines also wrote a song called Narcissm, adressing the wannabe models and fashion victims of Clapham, which refrences famous narcissitic character Dorian Gray with the lyric "Wouldn't it be nice to be Dorian Gray, just for a day?"
