The Hipster. They are typically college age and value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter. Hipsters reject the culturally-ignorant attitudes of mainstream consumers, and are often be seen wearing vintage and thrift store inspired fashions, tight-fitting jeans, old-school sneakers, and sometimes thick rimmed glasses. The "effortless cool" urban bohemian look of a hipster is exemplified in Urban Outfitters and American Apparel ads which cater towards the hipster demographic. Despite misconceptions based on their aesthetic tastes, hipsters tend to be well educated and often have liberal arts degrees, or degrees in maths and sciences, which also require certain creative analytical thinking abilities.
They often can be found sitting in groups in the local, non-chain coffee shop or late night pub drinking PBR or sipping mochas. They ride fixed gear bikes around the city
And they are taking over the BU tri-team. We all have fixed gear bikes, are increasingly wearing graphic tees and tight jeans, and we often find ourselves enjoying breakfast sandwiches and black coffee at cafes such as Taste and 2nd cup.
How did this happen? No idea.
