It is very difficult to define
what a hipster is when the genre is constantly changing. A hipster is a person
who always appears to be ahead of the curve in the tastes of society. Once a
cultural change has been accepted by everyone it
is no longer "hip". According to Hipsterdom professor Christopher
Taylor the key to hipsterdom is "Apriorism the instinctive knowledge where
you evaluate something before it exists,” Taylor said. “It’s really important
for a lot of people to have this uncanny knack to identify what is good before
the rest of the world knows.”
Music under the hipster banner is almost impossible
to define. The group the Muffs captures a vintage look with a unique style that
combines the past with a punk rock sound.
The hipster enjoys the combination of vintage
fashion style and modern sound of the Muffs and hopes that no one else discovers
the unique sound they are enjoying since the
Hipster believes once the public has discovered a sound it is ruined and no
longer interests the hipster.
Fashion Style for the hipster is difficult to
define and the hipster enjoys it that way since their goal is to be ahead of
the curve and to set the standards. The hipster enjoys their originality but
does not want the general public to popularize the look and lose its
originality. The hipster wants to be distinctive unusual and cool.
