The modern term "hipster" can be attributed to young people from wealthy families who are interested in fashion trends in art, literature and cinema. Hipsters have an inherent love of accessories and a somewhat pretentious style of dress.
How to recognize a hipster
Initially, hipsters appeared among jazz fans in the forties of the last century in the United States. Wikipedia clarifies: the term went from the expression to be hip, which means "to be in the subject." From here, by the way, another hippie subculture almost forgotten today went. Hipster can be recognized by its well-groomed appearance, but do not confuse it with the metrosexual, for whom grooming is the main feature of the style. Hipster brings to its own style something from the mess of the intellectual. It can be recognized by multi-colored striped trousers or, for example, pink sneakers.
Of the main accessories of hipsters, it is worth noting moleskin - a leather notebook, wide-rimmed glasses, skinny jeans, an iPhone and a T-shirt with some unusual pattern that emphasizes the independent, creative thinking of its owner.
The desire to stand out and stand apart from the crowd makes hipsters listen to indie music of a completely arbitrary style, watch art houses of different quality, read French philosophers at their leisure and know everything about modern gadgets, especially Apple. Hipsters often show political activity again of an oppositional nature, but they do not go further than political activists on the Internet for fear of prosecution. Hipsters love to gather in fast food establishments for a cup of coffee and speculate on the new Radiohead album.
