Let's Talk About Ceps
There was an article someone linked to on here a couple of years ago which said that when the concept of the 'hipster' first really broke into public consciousness early in the last decade, it was a subculture defined mainly by an obsession with irony and pretense, but that this decade's hipsters are if anything the complete opposite: always striving earnestly towards living as 'authentically' as possible. Hence wearing vintage, eating organic/local, drinking craft, riding bikes, listening to vinyl, shopping in (or owning) little shops where all the products have the price printed on unbleached card labels using a typewriter...
But as people have mentioned here, rather than being a mutation of hipsters as they were a decade or so ago it could just be that the same word is being applied to a quite separate group of people, who'll presumably still be living that way when it's cool to eat McDonald's, wear Kappa and drive a scooter (or whatever it'll be next).
