” I would say that your generalities are characteristics that apply to a majority, but not necessarily a definition.”
The Lvush points to a lifestyle. There is no Halacha to wear a Borsalano hat or a Streimel and its not assur to go without one.
There is nothing wrong with wearing a Rugby Shirt or khaki pants, but you wont see too many Chassidim or Yeshivish people wearing them
So in the sense that Haredism is a “lifestyle” it is a movement
Speaking Yiddish primarily or eating Hemish foods primarily are other examples of Lifestyle choices as opposed to Halacha
