Oh god, a few of my cousins are the BIGGEST hipsters going.. Christmas dinner with them is insufferable.
These are people who went to art college with their fellow hipsters and did degrees in 'visual cultures', 'service design', 'new media studies' (i.e. I wanted the vibe of going to art college, but I can't draw for shit).
They frequent restaurants that serve drinks in mason jars, have menus in childrens books and paintings of weird moustaches on the wall. They will also usually only eat foods from countries whose cuisines haven't gone too mainstream (yet). Fuck your wagamama ramen, that's sooo basic... I only want authentic Vietnamese pho and a kambucha bubble tea smoothie from a food truck that hasn't registered with the food safety authority. If they decide that alcohol is acceptable, only ales from micro-brewers and the likes are acceptable. And for the love of god, don't bring up the micro-brew beers with them, I swear they could go on about IPAs for months.
Buying clothes is a whole ordeal with them as well... everything is 'thrifted' or from a 'vintage' pop-up store (charity shop goods, but at ridiculously high hipster prices). Every shop is a pop-up. They all have strange tattoos, usually a crescent moon shape being a common denominator.
They have all been 'DJs' at one point and 'dropped tracks' of synthwavey shite on YouTube with music videos are so highly saturated in contrast that you'll think that you just dropped a tab of acid after watching it. Also they have weird ass raves and concerts... music that "doesn't exactly fit into any genre??" in abandoned warehouses. Oh and if they're not into making music (if you can call it that), they're into photography. Which none of them are great at either.
Smoking weed has somehow become toxic in their minds, but at their shitty get-togethers everyone is on pills. They claim they go to a spiritual retreat ('a healing ceremony') every year to have deep emotional experiences under the guidance of a 'Shaman' but it's really just them doing hallucinogenic drugs in a field somewhere with a dealer who read a book on new age philosophies.
Finally, they all say they work in media.. but they're all on the dole (and this was pre-covid).
Dickheads. The lot of them.

My bf wears them every day despite the fact that his head could easily be mistaken for a large pumpkin
)
and they've been around for so long, it's not like they're some new trend
. My 71 year old mother has a pair. They’re a classic footwear item that has phases of being more ‘on trend’ at times but they never go away and are worn by quite a wide cross section of people.
