Now may be the era of the  "softboy," The Telegraph has uncovered.

"The softboy wears a plain T-shirt or sweater and orders cheap beer backed with bottom-shelf whisky," writer Alan Hanson described the new trend.

Hanson said the guy isn't a nerd or the "bro." He can be sensitive, but also crass. He's not overly macho, or overly emotional.

So who is the poster boy for the "softboy" movement?

The Telegraph said to look to Ed Sheeran and any character Michael Cera has played.
