I think of hipster as someone who follows (non mainstream) trends, goes to starbucks, loves Apple products and cannot live without Wifi. Not a hacker who builds it's own stuff and cares about privacy. But maybe the beard confuses people.
- btym 10y agoIt's hard to define the term, but I think at the most basic level, "hipster" specifically refers to anyone who enjoys being alternative. "Goes to starbucks, loves Apple products and cannot live without Wifi" are common qualities of people who want to be hipsters but only because they think it's cool (and don't actually embrace an alternative lifestyle).
- draw_down 10y agoI recommend dropping the term. It's meaningless now, if it ever actually even meant anything in the first place.
