the hipster generation

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 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.

            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.

            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.
