The Modern Hipster

So what exactly is a Hipster?

How do we define them? After a quick search on Google this pops up:


But is this a Hipster? 

Technically, yes. However, it's our modern view on a stereotype. If you search Jock, Goth, or Nerd, you will see stereotypical views of these types of people. We see them as an artsy mix of different groups. They are ahead of the game in fashion, movies, music, etc. They just always seem to like something "before it was cool" or "you've probably never heard of it". They've honestly become a joke.

Here's a song to get you into the mindset of a Hipster: The Electric Guest - This Head I Hold

Or How About Vampire Weekend - Ya Hey ?

Below is a visualization on the modern Hipster. Notice that I keep saying modern.


The thing is... A lot of people could be considered a Hipster. It doesn't just mean you dress like a Lumberjack or love Vintage things. No. It is a melting pot. There are such things as Hipster-Jocks, Hipster-Goths, etc.
