Morphology
anarkid + lifestyle
While 'lifestyle' is fully compositional, 'anarkid' is a nonstandard blend (anarch- + kid) whose exact sense is not a conventional lexical item. A learner can partly infer 'a youth with anarchist/rebellious attitudes' from the parts, but this requires morphological decomposition and cultural knowledge and may be ambiguous, so the meaning is not fully predictable.
Etymology
Anarkid lifestyle comes from joining anarchy and kid. Imagine a young person who says 'no' to rules and to adult ways of living. That picture explains why it means 'a way of living that rejects rules and authority'.
