Is "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.

I 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.

  This 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.

Eh, the term "hipster" itself has been through the laundry at least once; the last iteration became "hippies"

No. "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.

  What vibe replaced it? I could see social networks shattering into a million vibes, but the music and art tells some of the story.

  Yeah, this feels a bit like people complaining about the hippies, but in 1981.

Was walking around Silver Lake last year and thought to myself, where did all the hipsters go? Used to be hipster central.
