<h1>Hipsters</h1>
<p class="author">by ffej</p>
<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>Hipster refers to a postmodern <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subculture%E2%80%9D" class="subC">subculture</a> of young, urban middle-class adults and older teenagers that first appeared in the 1990s and became particularly prominent in the 2010s,[1] being derived from earlier movements in the 1940s. The subculture is associated with indie music and alternative music, a varied non-mainstream fashion sensibility (including vintage and thrift store clothes), progressive or independent political views,[2][3] and alternative lifestyles.</p>
<h2>What the Heck is a Hipster?</h2>
<p>Hipster culture has been described as a "mutating, trans-Atlantic melting pot of styles, tastes and behavior[s]".[4] Christian Lorentzen of Time Out New York argues that "hipsterism fetishizes the authentic" elements of all of the "fringe movements of the postwar era—beat, hippie, punk, even grunge", and draws on the "cultural stores of every unmelted ethnicity", reinventing it "with a winking inauthenticity."[5] Lorentzen says that hipsters are mostly white 18- to 34-year old people.</p>
