Nah man, grunge is still around. Me and my ex were considered grungy by many people.

It's possible to adapt hipsterish clothes to a formal dress code, but the lifestyle implies that this would be optional.
People, who just want to look up-to-date, in a generic sort of way, could study a boxstore clothing catalog.

Quote:
Vriska Serket said: “Hipster” is a term co-opted for use as a meaningless pejorative in order to vaguely call someone else’s authenticity into question and, by extension, claim authenticity for yourself.
It serves no convers8tional function and imparts no information, save for indic8ing the opinions and preferences of the speaker.
Meanwhile, a market myth has sprung up around the term, as well as a cultural 8ogeyman consisting of elusive white 20-somethings who wear certain clothes (but no one will agree on what), listen to certain music (no one can agree on this either), and act a certain way (you’ve probably sensed the pattern on your own).
You can’t define what “that kind of 8ehavior or fashion or lifestyle” actually is, nor will you ever be a8le to. That’s 8ecause you don’t use “hipster” to descri8e an actual group of people, but to descri8e a fictional stereotype that is an outlet for literally anything that annoys you.
The twist, of course, is that if it weren’t for your own insecurities, nothing that a “hipster” could do or wear would ever affect you emotionally. But you are insecure about your own authenticity - “Do I wear what I wear because I want to? Do I listen to my music 8ecause I truly like it? I’m certainly not like those filthy hipsters!” - so you project those feelings.
Suffice it to say, no one self-identifies as a hipster; the term is always applied to an Other, to separate the authentic Us from the inauthentic, “ironic” Them.
No hipster admits being a hipster. You sound like a hipster. Its not a bad thing either, its just a category for people. They are kind of lame, but nothing wrong with that. Some of my friends are hipsters, it seems like more people in the NYC area are hipsters.

I always use it as a synonym for trendy. Taking terminology like that too seriously is silly. I think they're prone to acting proud because they associate trendy with cool, just like every other trend of the past.
As for music, indie pop and folk??

Oh hey..
 Don't think I've ever heard of these guys. Ima try to find some of there stuff now  Which also reminds me, I never downloaded the new baths album.
The only one I've heard by them, I wasn't the BIGGEST fan of, but it had this song which sounds so happy to me-
"Aminals"
No idea what to call that type of electronica, so I'll settle on Hipstronica

I'm finding complicated music, on homemade instruments, and feel more cultured. I consider it admirable. Sometimes, they chat someone up, in the middle of a gig, even a cheesy one, and they start to play really talented, spirited songs. These people challenge themselves.

I'm going to say that most people don't think very much about what they wear, or how they live.
Anyone who pays attention to stuff like that will tend to stand out, for one reason or another.
It's easy to say that they're trying too hard, but most people wouldn't bother to try.

it's easy for nobodies to judge. no offense to anybody, but you're really "there" if you have no judgement, and can understand everyone gets where they want to be by defining themselves and their actions, and once you're "there", you really have no room to judge because to get "there" you really have to go through everything that you would have judged anyways.
