The term hipster has evolved over
time and no long truly means the same thing anymore and in the years to come,
the term will evolve once more. At the core; however, the one thing that has
not changed is the fact that a ‘hipster’ does not follow the mainstream of
society. What is deemed the popular trend of society, they actively try to
break out and attempt an underground trend.
Unfortunately, in the modern era, being a
hipster has become a more arrogant nature. Because of social media where everyone
is out in the open and actively wishing to be unique, being a hipster has
become the most popular trend to lean to. As such, they have an air of
superiority because they do not follow what is popular as general consensus.
Nevertheless,
over the years this genre has grown and become something that was probably
never expected to grow. To the kind of music, life style, and styles of
blogging online, ‘hipster’ is no longer a term for people but for a culture all
on its own.
Music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3fTw_D3l10
Music under
the culture of ‘hipster’ has grown significantly over the years and one band
that follows that trend is ALT-J. Besides their band name itself, which is a
computer command that makes a triangle (the triangle being a symbol for hipster
generation), the type of music they make is practically an embodiment of
hipster. Whether that term has a negative connotation or not, the music they
produce is incredibly interesting and tells compelling stories. They’re
incredibly talented.
Life Style http://www.partyupgrade.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/four-hipsters.jpg
With tight
jeans, tighter plaid shirts, and large beards with ray bans to cover half their
face, hipsters have a certain clothing style and everyone who sees them knows
exactly who they are. Not only with their clothing, but they actively only want
to digest organic foods and want to bike everywhere, for it’s better for the
world and themselves. It doesn’t quite matter that this is how they want to
live their lives. They enjoy their lives and that’s what matters.
Blogging http://konichikong.tumblr.com/
Like just
about everyone else in the world, blogging is an active way to pass time and
spread the word about his or her lives and interests. From music to fashion and
photography about the world and abstract things.
