Would a lifestyle that doesn't currently exist be a real lifestyle? That sounds like an Aristotelian thing, as when he said "All A are B" implies "Some A are B" unless, of course, the class A is empty.
Something can exist potentially, symbolically, metaphorically. There is no need to restrict existence to the entirety of those objects that exist "objectively" (i.e. in a way that is detectable to scientific translation machines). This latter would be a far too narrow concept of existence.
