hipsterism 101: a brief history of the counter culture

from nedhepburn

late 90’s and beyond:

“hipsterism” becomes an affectation meaning no more than the clothes and income and literally just a fashion statement, bringing us to where we are now - where the counter culture has become the current culture. there is no REAL counter culture anymore, other than… shit. i dont know. i cant think of one at all. and thats pretty sad. while theres been a large number of what would be considered “hipsters” going into public planning jobs working for a greener future (which is an admirable and noble and respectful thing), nobody is really doing anything to go against the grain, so to speak. we’ve all become our own grain.

    I think the term ‘hipster’ has replaced ‘emo’ in terms of being used a lot. I’m so tired of the media using both terms.
