Aaaahhh, hipsters! We all love to hate them, I will not hide it
The truth is, no matter how much we hate them, and hipsters influenced both mainstream and alternative fashion for the past decade. These upper middle class people in their 20's and early 30’s, living in gentrifying neighborhoods and eating vegan granola are the main driving force of fashion and anti-fashion at the same time.
Loosely associated with indie and alternative scene, a bit odd fashion sensibility (including vintage and thrift store-bought clothes), love for unconventional everything (from food to political views) is what makes them so darn interesting to everyone.
According to Wikipedia:
“The term in its current usage first appeared in the 1990s and became particularly prominent in the 2010s,[9] being derived from the term used to describe earlier movements in the 1940s. Members of the subculture typically do not self-identify as hipsters, and the word hipster is often used as a pejorative to describe someone who is pretentious, overly trendy or effete. Some analysts contend that the notion of the contemporary hipster is actually a myth created by marketing.”
Like it or not, this subculture is here to stay for a long time and possibly influence alternative fashion even more. Brace yourselves!
