Hipsters are usually middle class white kids who need to sponge and appropriate povo culture. They are also lazy, ill disciplined and they whine a lot. Also most of them love to think themselves as creatives, you know writers, poets, painters and musos but 99% of them hate actually putting in the hard yards and most of them are untalented anyway. Thats why you see a lot of them with props like vintage instruments, typewriters, film cameras etc..but if you ask them to show what they have created or what they are working on they will come up with some lame excuse why they havent done much or if they do show you most of it is prep school drawings or cliché stuff.
They also move into low income areas so they can cultivate their "starving artists" image but end up driving the real poor inhabitants of these suburbs away because being rich middle class kids they bring their ironic expensive tastes with them which attracts other middle class kids who take up the rent of the old thrifty store and turn into an expensive little hang out hub for themselves where $5 coffees and $17 organic (LOL) sandwiches are the norm. This then attracts big commercial interests in these suburbs (most times they are the innercity enclaves that used to be semi industrialised areas with loads of working class) due to all the cool kids now living here..thus rents go up, boutique shops open up and what was a real working class suburb only a few years earlier is now gentrified middle class area. The shit thing is these hipsters then cannot cope with how mainstream their hood is now and they leave spreading their cancer elsewhere.
It's been happening to a lot of major cities. New York and it boroughs is the worst hit.
How do i know? I been living in the innercity of a large city for 15 years and for the last 10 years it was such a vibrant community with all walks of life, there was no pretence and no hipsters at all. In the last 5 years 70% of the people who lived here have had to move out because rents have gone up triple due to the influx of hipsters.
Hipsters are essentially late 80s early 90s yuppies BUT with terrible fashion sense and a pretentious attitude to go with it.
Damn them to hell!
