Hipster hatred really baffles me. The only thing I've come up with is that hipsters generally are people who actually are trying to live by their liberal ideals of anti-consumerism. Yes they are into fashion as is everyone else, that doesn't make them hypocrites. People hate them because they make them feel bad by generally doing things most people are too lazy to do themselves, not because they go around telling everyone they are crappy or acting holier than thou. The act of recycling old clothing is what offends people, not hipsters talking about it. You know what is holier than thou? "Hipsters are hypocritical scum". I've never been told anything like that by someone who is a hipster (except my radical feminist lesbian sister-in-law and it isn't because she's a hipster)
