Hipster-ism

So here's my thought: hipster is surely progressing into the new mainstream emo. Think about it; it starts with a small group of people who find irony in society and decide to be nonconformists. In the process there is a social stir in what these people are really up to. Grandpa types will see a male hipster walking down the street and may compliment him on his hat, but recommend that he go take a shower and possibly shave. What I'm trying to say is this; no matter how mainstream (oh the irony) hipster-ism becomes, they are a group of very intelligent, somewhat urban hippie types who are greatly contributing to the music, movie and fashion industries who also have found their way into every generation. Hipster-ism will ALWAYS be a billion times better than emo-ism.

The educational ranting aside, I believe there are many fashion STAPLES being made by these independent trend setters.

  1. Great pictures! I love most of the styling. I still don't really know what a hipster is, though.

  2. Urbandictionary.com has some great explanations. Or for an easier reference, if you watch Glee Project, Cameron is one.
