hicksy3 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Hipsters sit in cafes and use old school typewriters to work the touchscreen on iPads. In Sheffield, rich veins of hipsters can be found in tamper coffee. Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RootsBooster Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 http://www.wikihow.com › ... › Urban Styles There you are Phil. Copied and pasted. xx How to Be a Hipster. Hipsters are people who enjoy clothing, music, food and activities considered to be outside of the social mainstream. The trouble is, it all quickly became quite mainstream. ---------- Post added 09-12-2016 at 21:58 ---------- They're far too well know for hipsters. Don't forget the hipster mantra of "I liked that before you knew about it" and their disdain for anything once it becomes well known. I've been thinking of styling myself as an anti-hipster with the motto "I liked that after it had become passée." I have a friend who's (quite ironically) become a hipster. I tell people I knew him before he was a hipster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biotechpete Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Can someone tell me why people identify them as being hipster and why they think it makes them special The original hipsters of the 1940s were a jazz subculture of economically poor, but culturally rich, urban liberals which subsequently engaged more affluent youths. The culture emerged during tough economic and uncertain political times. It was marked by a rejection of mainstream lavish culture and typical lifestyles, in favour of a more arts based appreciation of, and finding meaning in, life. It was notably a mixture of different ethnic, musical and clothing styles. Modern hipsterism originated as an evolution of the 'indy' i.e. independent culture, mainly in the Brooklyn area of New York. It is similar in that it is mainly an urban and liberal culture which grew up from younger people in ethnically diverse neighbourhoods, with cheaper housing costs (and really this is the key to the origin of UK hipsterism re Shoreditch and Manchester's Northern Quarter). It is also based around a rejection of traditional consumerism and adoption of a lifestyle based on ethical, independent, vintage and reuse purchasing. It is also to some extent a culture which appreciates the arts, in music, architecture, interior design and fashion. In my view, the key to it's recent growth is that it is mainly a middle class subculture of young people who have been left out of the normal economic structures by lack of opportunity. They are tipified by relatively affluent backgrounds and high educational attainment, but without high paid jobs. Hence, the typical graduate working as a barista cliche. What makes them 'so special' is simply that their educational and cultural standpoint put them in a similar group to the 'liberal elite' media. Hence as a culture they are getting attention in the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclone Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Can someone tell me why people identify them as being hipster and why they think it makes them special Why do people identify as being anything? Why be goth, emo, rocker, jock, nerd, or whatever else? ---------- Post added 10-12-2016 at 01:33 ---------- someone who is trendy I belive. It's A trend, but no, not simply "trendy".
