“The girls have mean, boyish haircuts, and the guys show off carefully unshaven faces.”
“hipsters are “people who [are] associating themselves with places that have a cultural meaning.”
“But some would rather not identify as a hipster. “I feel like a hipster would never want to be called a hipster,” says Natalie Snoyman, who frequents “hipster bars” in her hometown of San Diego and believes that being a hipster is staying in tune with “what’s going on.””
“He explains that a hipster is someone who is “in with current trends.””
This article is about the author going around asking people you would perceive as hipster what a hipster was. Although the article is quite informative however it is hard to get decent quotes from without taking large chunks of text needed to make sense. By the end you do get a sense of hipsters view themselves.
