I think anyone worth knowing hovers around the edges of hipsterism — and nobody admits to being a full-fledged hipster.

I like how you put “it can't take away unique.” The web kind of enables that, and kind of enables the herd mentality too… back and forth, whatevs.

I've always been fascinated by the “hipster culture” while kinda unwittingly hovering around its edges myself. Rebellion and irony seem to be a big part of it, but those lose their meaning when styles and preferences are chosen only to fit in with the hipster masses.

Maybe what comes next is a heterogeneous mix of people, all doing their own thing with their own style, so different from one another that it can't properly called a subculture. The web makes secret impossible, but it can't take away unique.
