Hmm, is "Hipster" still a current term? It feels like hipsters aren't in evidence as much as they used to be before lockdown.

- bencollier49 5y agoOh yeah, totally, it was just interesting to see how the term was being used back then and reflect that I've not seen it much recently.
- huetius 5y agoI’d be interested to see a more serious study of this, but my hypothesis is that it was always a weakly bonded cohort which has by now dissolved into other cohorts. Hipsters generally didn’t self identify as hipsters, and the internal dynamics of that scene tended towards schism (anything liked by too many/the wrong people is rejected).
