Re: Moron tv
Ugh, don't get me started on Hipsters. I don't think there's any particularly cultural basis to their existence beyond the need to be contrary and pick at anybody that isn't part of their 'set'. You know - people with brakes on their bikes and who don't wear thick rimmed glasses.

Re: Moron tv
Beards look good on explorers, and some academics.
On young blokes, it looks hipster, and on middle-aged men it doesn't hide the gain in weight.
I know this...because only this morning I shaved off my week old beard gained from camping over the long weekend. My wife tells me it looks great with the appropriate gear when I have come down from the Alpine district but I worked out on the way back from the office it just made me look like a See You Next Tuesday...
Yes, I am a See You Next Tuesday and I claim my 10 dollars.

Agreed.
I was a bit confused with your argument but I think I can see where you are going. I agree that hipsters are a group who have been created and think they are trendsetting and who would like to exclude others. But others in turn laugh at them.... I don't see hipsters as being 'classy' - in date and cool (by their standards) maybe. Hipsters don't create the world, they are just a subset.

Yes, Hipsters do think they have created something new, edgy and exclusively theirs, but realistically Jarvis Cocker (of Pulp fame) was doing this back in the 90s - awkward looking tight fitting clothes and thick rimmed glasses. Jarvis had out-hipstered the hipsters long before anybody had even coined the term!

Re: Moron tv
But isn't that always the case? Younger generations think that their trends are new and different but in reality they are not. Case in point: Goths/emos/everyone hates me etc listening to The Cure, The Mission, The Smiths etc thinking they are cool and different. That was my music in the '80s!
Mine too! Well, that and Iron Maiden.
But you're right - Instead of creating a load of individuals, it just creates a sub-'class' of people who are largely identical - wearing the same clothes, listening to the same music, watching the same TV etc...

Hipster has become a throwaway term to describe somone (generally younger) who just dresses different or likes something you dont like.
