Hipster?

"Hipsters are a subculture of men and women typically in their 20's and 30's that value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter. The greatest concentrations of hipsters can be found living in the Williamsburg, Wicker Park, and Mission District neighborhoods of major cosmopolitan centers such as New York, Chicago, and San Francisco respectively."

"Hipster" is such a confusing word. I, myself, often get called a "hipster" and I always question why. Does listening to indie music and going to coffee shops make you a "hipster"? Or does being a young teenager and wearing high waisted shorts and crop tops make you one? Is it cool to be a "hipster"? What does liking something ironically even mean?

I find people who label themselves as a "hipsters" to be quite hilarious because aren't "hipsters" supposed to not want to be called that? Who knows.

Although one photo is of men and one is of women, I consider these groups extremely different. Don't you?
Which group do you think are "hipsters?"

The guys who work at the coffee shop down the street? Or the Tumblr girls?
