I see this thread come up now and again and think to myself, "are hipsters still a thing, even?"  Then I remember, as someone brilliantly pointed out near the beginning of this discussion, that hipster means, "young person that I don't like."  So I guess there will be hipsters as long as old people are screaming "get off my lawn".  Or maybe "parking lot".

random reminder to the young, this is in the lyrics to stumble, a song from rem's awesome first ep, chronic town, released aug 24, 1982 -- 

 

...

It was round about midnight. Hipster town.

Are those the same hipsters as 21st century hipsters?  The word goes back to at least the jazz age, but nobody is going to confuse Cab Callaway for any of the hundreds of interchangeable Brooklyn EDM musician.

afaik the rem song is the only bridge example of hipsters in music between cab calloway/anita day era and the oughties hipster revival that is debately still with us today.

i thought there was a connection to the 1950s beat generation too, so i looked and there is.

 

allen ginsberg's famous poem howl mentions 'angelheaded hipsters.'

 

the point being hipsters have always been around, or off and on, since at least the early jazz era.

 

everybody knows the types of people it refers to, so i doubt it ever really goes away for good.
