Hipsters are the reason i think we need mandatory military service immediately after high school. That or labor camps.

It was amusing a few years ago, maybe for the first 3 million wink-and-jokes, but now it's a word which has virtually no meaning or purpose except to facilitate making snide remarks. It's dumb. There's a reason respected newspapers and other media outlets are actively trying to remove the use of the word hipster from their work. It's because it doesn't mean shit except that some snide remark is about to follow.

I admit I'm coming across as 'mad' but I live in Brooklyn, apparently the hipster capital of the universe, and I've been hearing these annoying jokes from every direction for years and years. Trust me, you don't know what it's like. If you had to hear the same people make the same tired jokes about the punching bag hipsters and think 'god damn I am clever', you'd go a little loopy too.

Just read this thread. The word has no specific meaning. Almost every post has a different definition and it's all vague and it all comes down to one thing: Young person I'd like to insult? Hipster.

Correction: the human race always had numerous trash cultural fads dating back thousands of years. And the older generation will call the new fads trash while comfortably participating in their trash fads that their grandparents called trash/the end of western civilization.

If western civilization ended every time people started dressing and acting weird, we'd all have harems of burqa covered women by now.
