This is hipsterism taken to its logical conclusion, the true irony being that in an effort to be fashionable/unique, everyone else just copied it to the point it was no longer so.
- jjulius 3y agoIs "hipsterism" still even a thing anymore? It feels like that kind of morphed into the whole holistic/burner culture trend that seems to be growing rapidly these days.
- JohnMakin 3y agoI don't know, but the time this author notices this trend beginning, early/mid 2010's, was definitely when it was full force and I still in my head associate these "trendy" pop ups with that culture.
- sph 3y agoThis trend has been developing since the 90s, when hipsterism wasn't even a thing. As I mentioned elsewhere, it's a result of a data first digital culture, not bearded white guys in tshirts. Hipsterism is almost dead, the trend towards average is still accelerating.
- klyrs 3y agoEh, the term "hipster" itself has been through the laundry at least once; the last iteration became "hippies"
- colechristensen 3y agoNo. "Hipster" was mostly a millennial youth thing, there's still recognizable bits around but the culture moved on. Especially from the word "hipster". Peaked around 2012. There are still kids who try too hard to be unique, quirky, and authentic in a way that makes them all do the same stuff... but it's a different vibe than a decade ago.

- mixmastamyk 3y agoWas walking around Silver Lake last year and thought to myself, where did all the hipsters go? Used to be hipster central.

- amelius 3y agoIt is still cool to own an iPhone, even though everybody and their mother has one, and they all look the same.
- yoyohello13 3y agoI’m such a hipster, I’ve shed hipsterism and become mainstream.
