"Hipster is a slang term that first appeared in the 1940s, and was revived
in the 1990s and 2000s to describe types of young, recently settled urban
middle class adults and older teenagers with interests in non-mainstream
fashion and culture, particularly indie rock, independent film, magazines
such as Vice and Clash, and websites like Pitchfork Media.[1] In some
contexts, hipsters are also referred to as scenesters.[2]
"Hipster" has been used in sometimes contradictory ways, making it difficult
to precisely define "hipster culture" because it is a "mutating,
trans-Atlantic melting pot of styles, tastes and behavior[s]."[1] One
commentator argues that "hipsterism fetishizes the authentic" elements of
all of the "fringe movements of the postwar era-beat, hippie, punk, even
grunge," and draws on the "cultural stores of every unmelted ethnicity", and
"regurgitates it with a winking inauthenticity."[3] Others, like Arsel and
Thompson, argue that hipster is a cultural mythology, crystallization of a
mass mediated stereotype generated to understand, categorize and marketize
the indie consumer culture rather than an objectified group of people."
