I hate things being pushed on me, especially if it's super popular already and people keep going on about how much I should watch/listen to it. and I tend to like obscure things which hasn't reached peak mainstream yet. and I guess I kinda talk laidback for everything, inc professionally but i'm not sure if those are 'hipster'. I wish there was another label to use rather than hipster coz I feel like i'm a mesh of a few subcultures If we're being real for a sec, I always wondered what the hell hipster is supposed to mean anyway (to some people that just means you have trendy glasses), but I read a description on reddit once which is the most accurate way to put it I've ever seen: https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/11pw6d/i_told_two_girls_at_the_library_to_be_quiet_about/c6orpz9/ Hipster culture is a reaction against perceived cultural trends of inauthenticity and superficiality. In a hyper commoditized world where commercial motives permeate every layer of the cultural fabric and advertising and lobbying dollars make everything in mainstream society suspect or of questionable motives, hipster culture has arisen to offer an alternative set of values and attitudes. Hipster culture is primarily built on two behaviors: the fetishization of authenticity, coupled with a derisive, dismissive and ironic rejection of everything that doesn't fit within that narrow category. The hipster concept of "authenticity" is complex but largely based on i) age, where objects or ideas older than a few decades are perceived to be more authentic as they sprang from a culture less corrupted by commercialization, and ii) a spartan kind of utility, where bare-bones items are seen as less commercially exploitative and thus more reliable. Thus, hipster culture embraces fixed-gear bikes, mechanical typewriters, folk music, drinking from mason jars and vinyl records as they are all perceived to be both old and spartan. It also embraces things like mustaches and vintage clothes (just old), and apple products (just perceived to be of extreme simplicity).
