I see the term "hipster" bandied about a lot on social media sites, but honestly I don't even know what a hipster is in today world.
What are hipster attitudes, music, fashion, etc. Are their sub genres in hipsterdom and who are some famous hipsters.

Basically, they are people who purposely exhibit ironic and poor fashion sense to be, well, ironic. Trucker hats with obscure diner logos on them, flannels, cowboy boots, big rimmed glasses, corn-cob pipes, 50's stuff, etc. They come in all sorts and the current style is transient so they can avoid detection. The true irony is that they do this to be subversive and original yet they all dress alike, for the most part.

So are you saying they are most likely insecure geeks looking for attention?

I'm 51.
Can I be a hipster, or would the irony implode and create a singularity that would eliminate all life within the known universe?

Not exclusively but the correlation is high.
Intelligence reports a growing number of these hipsters who are actually quite ignorant of the fact that they are hipsters. These can be from various backgrounds but most likely run on the edge of the lower end of the autism spectrum for reading social ques. The alpha hipsters are probably modifying their agenda to exploit these poor "sleeper cell" hipsters for a later time of action.

OMG....how much more irony can America take? Is there any recourse we dweebs can take. Oh no....I said "dweeb" may God forgive me!
I was hoping for some answers from real hipsters. I see the sarcastic senior citizens are well represented.edit on 28-2-2014 by olaru12 because: (no reason given)

Your explanation just gave me a nose bleed.
I'll think I'll stick to "Grumpy old man" and say, "Get off my lawn!" a lot instead.
