Hipsters are often called indie kiddies. Most often, young boys and girls aged 16 to 25 years join this movement. Who are hipsters? Portrait of a typical indie kid: a middle-class representative who is not indifferent to alternative music, arthouse films, design, fashion and art. For the most part, hipsters strictly follow the latest fashion trends of their world, carefully select brands and strive to comply with their own canons. Many critics and adults, once former ideological rebels, metalworkers, jocks, rockers, bikers, etc. the very idea of this direction causes attacks of aggression. Like, how can one neglect the constant style and rush from one to the other?
For hipsters, it is not a priority to create something new, hitherto unseen. In the first place is the task of being aware of what's new. They rarely talk about such banal and mundane things as sex or work. All conversations are centered around something sublime, created or imposed ideals, judgments, philosophy.
To understand who hipsters are, one should be imbued with their way of thinking. What will we find there, behind seven seals? In fact, everything is extremely simple. The generation most often represented by hipsters is children who are literally thrown into the world of comfortable online diaries, love on the Internet, who are used to always looking for something new and unusual on the Internet. Accustomed to consider themselves a pronounced personality and suddenly saw a huge number of children like them on the net. This is a huge blow to the pride of any teenager. Hence the passion for various non-formatted hobbies, strange taste preferences, interests and hobbies.
For example, typical hipster clothes include skinny skinny jeans (multi-colored leggings), stretched T-shirts, vintage-cut sweaters, sneakers, voluminous scarves and massive-framed glasses that create an image of an intelligent and smart guy. You can immediately understand that a young man is a hipster: his clothes really stand out from the general mass. However, you need to give credit to the hipsters: sometimes their “outfits” are very stylish and effective, albeit artificially careless.
Who are hipsters? In fact, they appeared long before the spread of the Internet and high technology. Young people seeking to stand out from the gray crowd, defend their views, beliefs, abandon the "stupid" stereotypes imposed by adults. Think about it, because there have always been such! It’s just that each era had its own movement: first, nihilists, then bright and living dudes living in an atmosphere of longing for the unknown west. Finally, the same hippies can also be attributed to some extent to hipsters.
All these people are driven by one thing - the desire to be heard. Just every era is looking for its own ways to achieve this goal. Therefore, to the question of who hipsters are, it would be more logical to answer that we are all. After all, we all want to be different in some way from our acquaintances and friends, to be in the spotlight. However, for some reason, it’s easier for us to equate the word “hipster” with dirt than try to start changing the world around us. You might say that hipsters do not change the world in any way. But this is not at all true. Think about at least one thing: would you read these lines now if there were no hipsters?
