But very well done!
The Net Zero Dad is much more likely to live in the suburbs / countryside I think.
Agreed on Net Zero Dad living in the 'burns, hence the EV. I bet he probably flies for holidays too whereas climate dad probably does trains and ferries.
- Knows his Verve from his Blue Note
- owns at least one semi-acoustic guitar
Swears at the News a lot.
Swears at Keir Starmer & Rachel Reeves a lot.
Wants to Retire to a Farmhouse in France but can't say that as he has to pretend that he's only campaigning for the future of our Country.
My take was that the climate dad thing is a bit more cultural (hence the 6 music overlap), but net zero dad is a bit more tech-enthusiastic
Although also very trendy-young-person-coded these days as well, it seems
Can I have “Lefty Centrist Music and Sport Dad”.
I think Waterstones Man might just be a very mean-spirited version of the classic centrist dad
Don’t listen to 6Music
so many possibilities
(This is nothing on my German fielding positions diagram, which sadly never really took off, despite endorsement from Cricket Germany)

It needs a "rEUnite Dad" (loves European holidays; follows more EU than UK politicians; 2 life eras of "Chill" and "Rage" with boundary at 23/6/16)
What would you put in which circles?
My definitions are stolen from:
- @louiseankers.bsky.social for 6 Music Dads
- @oliviarudgard.bsky.social for Climate Dads
- @duncanrobinson.bsky.social for Net Zero Dads
Overlaps on coffee snob?

He overlaps on 6 music dad on 2 things
- buys expensive equipment
- very proud of his headphones
* goes off to increase the jean turnups *
Also, I'm not sure I listen to 6 music more than any other middle aged man.
And I had a few mins of low key childcare to do before running an e-bike errand, so here we are...
