What Is A Hipster? by HipsterOutfit(m): 11:54am On Jul 14, 2022
What is a hipster?

As a new social species, hipsters first appeared in major US cities in the late 1990s. A scene of its own has long since established itself in Germany. They like to be creative and casual and demonstrate their indifference to the mainstream with their hipster style.

What makes a hipster
Hipsters are predominantly young people from the urban middle class between the ages of 20 and 30. They live values ​​such as progressive politics, counterculture and independent thinking and are well educated. They also have a soft spot for photography, alternative literature and independent film. The hipster aggressively tries to stand out from the crowd by being fashion-conscious, enlightened and intelligent. She is interested in creativity, art, education and witty discussions. Contrary to the first impression, hipsters are not unemployed and often have a university degree in art, fashion, mathematics or other sciences. Hipsters like to spend their free time in small, local cafes. Here they like to sip a latte while surfing the web with an iPad or Mac and browsing blogs. In addition to posts, they often devote themselves to designing their own profile and are happy to post their own image creations. The most important means of transportation is an old-style bicycle with coaster brake and 3-speed gears. Hipsters have an exceptionally good sense of trends and are considered early adopters, which is why they often emerge as discoverers and pioneers of new cultural ideals and trends. Quite a few bands and trends only became known to the masses after hipsters discovered them.

Hipster style far removed from the social ideal
The basic idea of ​​hipster fashion is to stand out from the mainstream with extravagant and scene-conscious clothing. The hipster style and the external appearance are characterized by rather unusual hairstyles, such as undercuts and sidecuts, as well as a combination of old-fashioned clothing and a clothing style that predominantly prevails in the subculture of hardcore punks. Hipster fashion also expresses a penchant for vintage and second-hand clothing, which is often combined with expensive brand labels. Typical for hipster fashion are knitted hats, fabric or jute bags, Converse or Vans shoes, old-school sneakers, skinny jeans and tight trousers, tube scarves, nerd or horn-rimmed glasses (often oversized and with extravagant frames) as well as flannel and lumberjack shirts. For women, high-waist jeans or leggings can also be considered hipster fashion. In order to stand out from the mainstream, hipster fashion often wears items that don't actually belong together. T-shirts with provocative and eye-catching slogans and inscriptions are also popular. Hipster style often includes piercings and tattoos. A full beard or 3-day beard is mandatory for men. Carrying Apple tablets and smartphones is also part of the hipster style. Backpacks and bags are considered must-haves. Hipsters have a passion for indie music. They often hear songs from bands that most people don't know. What the mustache is for vintage representatives and the peace sign for hippies, the equilateral triangle is for hipsters. While for many it is just a sign of recognition, the three sides of the triangle are intended to symbolize freedom, music and love for other representatives of the scene. It is now also a popular tattoo motif.
