It has occurred to me that hipsters being a social phenomenon at least in popular culture is over. Now NYC and LA are full of actual bums, instead of people who just dress and look like them.
Basically it was the last hurrah for all the emo kids in high school, in their 20s before they had to start real lives, (or not perhaps).

Dunno. I guess that paying £6 for beer because <ironic_hipster_reasons> has just become paying £6 for beer <dystopian_hellscape_reasons>.

Also, I know at least two douches who are still hipstering their way into a triple mortgage bankruptcy murder-suicide with their fat fucking wives.

They are still at large overseas, although not to the extent which they used to be. These days I've noticed that they wear woolen coats and caps in the lovely colours of mustard and dark, velvety green. Their women prefer armpit-height blue jeans. Hiking garb is also popular (even though their hikes will only ever take them to the inner city cafés and vegan eateries). The climate conscious choice.

NYC and LA usually process trends faster than other parts of the world. Like I remember going to Amsterdam in 2009 and apparently Sisqo's thong song was a big deal, people dressing like him, etc. This had been out in the USA since 1999!
Something I like about the UK is that the punk aesthetic is still very much a thing there. At least it was, when I went to London back in 2018.
To me, emo and hipsters are kind of psuedo-punk that lived in a more socially acceptable realm of the time. It was a trend that high school girls where into.

Another example I remember back in like 2008 that if you leave the metropolitan areas of NYC, and go into the boonie areas, you would still see people into the shitty rap-rock trend of the 90s, with Korn shirt, and what not. Mallcore hillbillies

Ironically I say this on a website that celebrates a game from 1993. But that's different, because the modding aspect, and that even a single-person can develop a project, makes Doom immortal and always fresh IMO.
Plus, it is not a social trend, it is a hobby.

Emo/Pop-punk vulturized qualities of true punk and packaged them nicely for mass corporate consumption with intentionally nothing to really rock the boat about corruption and nothing to actually offend people. Then a lot of those people became hipsters when they got a little older.
True punk eats hipsters alive and shits out the emo turds they used to be.
R.I.P. Hipsters. You are not missed.

I feel like a lot the energy that would be spent by in our current era, that would have been on counter-culture in music, is being spent on social media, and politics. Being a teenager, and 20 something in the 2000s, we still had garage bands, and hung out in music studios; going to parties, throwing parties, sex, drugs, and rock n' roll. Fighting in bars, causing general mayhem. That was a cool time for me. |
