I wonder how many modern hipsters are aware of their own Wikiality?

Since the late 1990s, the word hipster has resurfaced as a term to describe performers and devotees of indie rock and downtempo electronica, and related styles of music, and those who follow the associated fashions and tastes. The stereotypical accessories of the modern hipster include Vespa scooters, Buddy Holly-style glasses, white belts, membership in a local band, Converse style shoes, vintage clothing, and in the case of men, patchy facial hair. Their style can be loosely described as "Bad 70s hair/clothes," and they tend to spend lots of money and time on achieving that look. Neighborhoods such as Williamsburg, Brooklyn, The Misson District, San Francisco, Hollywood, Los Angeles, Mile End, Montreal, Wicker Park, Chicago and Northern Liberties, Philadelphia have become popular living and recreational destinations for hipsters. Hipsters dining preferences are often of the vegetarian variety, such as grilled cheese with tomatoes. An alcoholic beverage popular among hipsters is PBR, along with other cheap, working-class beers. Some modern day hipsters have no real need for a job (and are often supported by his or her parents) -- this variety of hipster is known as a T.F.B, or "Trust Fund Baby". Regardless of financial stability, when most hipsters are employed they are usually involved in something allowing interaction with other hipsters, such as an alternative music shop, coffee shop, or bar.

Known as the "Cut & Paste Generation" modern hipsters often follow, or are involved with, the local art and DJ scenes, and are often associated with independent film and alternative comics. Although they like to think of themselves as creative types, a common suspicion is that most are simply culture miners, Johnny-come-latelys, and other scenester types, who do not create so much as borrow and bastardize. Unlike previous generations of hipsters, they are rarely now associated with the jazz scene, though the term likely re-entered use as a result of the swing revival and lounge revival of the mid-1990s, which many current hipsters were associated with at the time. [citation needed]

As with any distinctive subculture, the hipster is sometimes a target of derision or satire, though, as the subculture is a fairly amorphous group that generally appreciates irony and self-deprecation, the audience is often as not the hipsters themselves. Robert Lanham's The Hipster Handbook affectionately lampoons the hipster cliché in its current incarnation. Numerous web sites also exist that less-affectionately express their authors' exasperation at hipster clichés. Many would argue that the term "hipster" itself has become mildly derisive, and it is seldom used as a label for self-identification, except in an ironic or self-deprecating way. Hipsters are often considered by those inside, but rarely outside, the scene as being introspective, politically active, selfless, humble, intelligent, and unique.

Low-key?

LOW-KEY!?!?

LOW-KEY IN THEIR HIPSTER WAYS!?!?!?!?

...........BBBBWWWAAAAAAAHHHH HAAAAAHHHH AHAAA HHHAAA!!!!

Williamsburgh is the largest cultural wasteland of dipshit hipster indie wannabes on the planet. More than the entire city of San Francisco.

Believe me, they LOVE the attention. They're attention whores. Why else would they be blogging stuff like this?

Mostly posers anyway.

Ever been to Barcade?

Drunken, eletist, vain, and immensly spoiled rich kids "roughing it" in their Willamsburgh "artists lofts" go there to pretend to be retro gamers.

It's a sad, sad, sad sad and sorry experience full of cool arcade machines un-coolified by association with the too-cool-for-you stigma of Billyburgh itself.

Sorry to be a troll. Yes, the DK 'shop is cool.

But as far as hipsters go... God I can't wait for this decade to be over... then everyone can look back at how badly they ruined it.
