• tikiavenger 14y ago
  my exact thoughts. literally every single person is a hipster.
  • swang 14y ago
    All I see is just a bunch of people in their 20s/30s...

      Young person who dresses in a non-boring way = hipster, apparently.
      • zerostar07 14y ago
        You have to give the trend a name so you can refer to it after it becomes boring itself.
        • waterlesscloud 14y ago
          The trend has been named for at least a decade. Oh, I see what you did there.

                The point is that the word "hipster" has been in continuous use to describe alternative youth culture since the Beats. http://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=hipster&year_start=1940&year_end=2020 http://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=hipster&yea...

                  As wikipedia explains, the term has been used to describe the culture of 2 distinct decades, not the decades in between
                  • gruseom 14y ago
                    Where does Wikipedia say that it wasn't used in the intervening decades? That's not true. Look at the ngram link I supplied – it clearly was in use. What do you think it meant?

          I think it’s just called fashion. That hipster bullshit is getting tired. The stereotypes are stupid and it all comes down to berating people for what they wear – for whatever stupid reason. Why would that ever be cool? All I see is lots of young people who know how to dress fashionable.

  I am currently visiting/working in NYC and staying on the Lower East Side. Seriously, everyone here dresses like that--this hipster thing goes way deeper than I could have imagined...
• benihana 14y ago
  What about that is hipstery? That's how people dress here in NYC.
• brown9-2 14y ago
  What style of dress do you expect for people in their 20's dressing casually? This is such a silly label that it's almost not worth arguing over, but I fail to see what expectation has failed for you here.

  I 'm kinda hoping they were being ironic
