My answer comes from people I've talked to.
No different than those who label people calling them Fred's because of their bike equipment or riding attire. Seems there is a lot of labeling that goes on in the biking community mostly to make certain people feel superior to others. The best thing that could happen is for all these labels to be dropped and just enjoy riding the bikes.
