Awesome! I can hone my fictional observations about hipsters! Who don't really exist! But isn't he a little old for the stereotype?

You folks have made this one helluva fun topic and I sincerely appreciate it. All the opinions, insights, video, photo examples, jokes... all of it. I learned allot. 
One conclusion I've come to is that Hipsters are like yesteryear's Preppies, Valley Girls, Surfer Dudes, Rockabillies, Nerds, Geeks, insert label here. They've achieved the critical mass necessary to merit their own label!
I'll leave this topic and all of you with this...

digressing a bit here, because i think American subculture is rad to think about.
This kind of reminded back in high school when there was this sizable l clique of rockabilly folks. This was around the time when punk and ska was making a bit of a "resurgence". There was a really neat factor about that aesthetic, but when you see a whole bunch of them grouped up like that, you can't really help think "must be uniform day".
Fast forward to maybe 5 years later when Tiger Army (still around, playing in Santa Cruz on April 12th fyi) started to get big and I started hanging going to Santa Cruz. Psychobilies. Psychobillies everywhere.\
In anycase, I thank those people for altporn lol.

Both Dreg and Karbon hit it: a fairly short-lived mini-trend characterization. When this thread began, I gleefully participated but realize I haven't been hearing much about hipsters lately anyway....maybe whatever critical mass it had has peaked...
Mebbe there should be a hipster funeral like the one they had in Haight-Ashbury in 1966 or whenever for the hippies..It didn't stop years of mimicking and spreading of the folkways as it radiated outward across the country, and I expect some of the hipster stuff is here to stay for a while too. I found the Summer of Love could be traced in concentric lines radiating away from SF Bay by years. My hometown was a few years behind; but I think it was like 10 years later in Oregon and such...I still remember being in high school and meeting these friends cousins and such who had come down to visit and were in full hippie regalia...
New American Weird Music, which I think hipsters like, is pretty weird. All these dudes singing very weakly and sloppy and sounding as if they are standing at the bottom of a 20,000 gal tank (uh, empty)....with a plunky little banjo accompaniment. At least it supplants women with little girl voices strumming ukuleles (twee music). Man, I HATE that shit.
