I'd say the bigger influence there was arguably technology. Streaming, digital distribution and online communities and resources have made it so easy for people to enjoy and explore a wide series of genres quickly and easily in a way that previous generations couldn't. If you wanted to get into Death Metal in the 80's/90s you needed to find out the genre existed, go to shown and meet people / find a record store that sold that stuff and then put down actual money on tickets or records. It's not exactly super hard but you needed to put quite a bit in. In the 2000's all you needed was an internet connection and to eventually stumble onto it on limewire and from there it has only gotten easier.

Finn! I know exactly what happened to the hipsters! I lived that around that life in silverlake/ Echo park for years. They basically got married and moved out of the city and have kids .. They go to “family friendly” breweries. It’s still a pissing contest .. this time with kids and houses.

What killed Hipsters? The death of the Hipster coincided with the rise of White Claw. In 2015, you walk down the beverage aisle at the grocery store & it’s like 50% domestic macro, and 50% craft beer. Now it’s like 50% macro, 30% hard seltzer, and 20% craft beer. I love craft beer & you have to work harder to find it now, but the extra effort is worth it now that we no longer have everyone’s Spotify playlists loaded up full of The Lumineers & X Ambassadors type songs.

The part where "they became so popular they became what they hated" describes almost any subculture from the 70s onwards. We can say what we want about the "hipsters", but they were the aesthetic force behind a very good decade (or, mid-decade, between 2005 and 2015 or so), and except for the music and the snobby attitude, it was a very good period. In addition, this "non-conformity" however superficial it may have been, led many to create their own stores and distribution networks. Pretty DIY accutally.

Hipsters could be what they were, and we think of their heyday in positive terms mostly because of decisions made at the Federal Reserve immediately after 9/11. A recession had been on the horizon for at least a year by then but the Bush admin, knowling that it was about to go onto a massive war called for economic and monetary policies to support that. This led to a consumption and debt bubble that lasted seven years, those crucial seven years between 2001 and 2008 when indie rock and hipsterism really thrived. Once that particular party was over the culture kept going for a few more years on sheer inertia but it was basically a dead man walking. Without easy access to credit and a labor market that was overheated and fuelled by speculation, hipsterism couldn't have happened. I´ve always felt the 2000s were a bit of a replay of the Roaring Twenties and the youth cultures reflect that.

About the point at the end regarding 'Artisanal shit' - I think the positive there that you're glossing over is that a lot of that stuff isn't coming from large conglomerates. Obviously there is a ton of 'hipster aligned' mass market shit at this point, but I still thing a huge thrust of that movement was to be conscious of buying locally sourced things from smaller businesses. While all that stuff is still consumption, I think it's fair to argue that it's a more positive form of it. Of course you have to acknowledge the fact that only middle/upper class people are going to be able to do this, and because of that it won't end up having any kind of world changing effect. However, just like vegan/vegetarianism the propagation of these ideas into more mainstream culture does have a positive effect. It is good that people now are more thoughtful in general of keeping more money within their community rather than letting it be extracted by global scale corporations.

It's funny that a video like this would come out right now because I restarted New Girl after like 10 years and I can't stop thinking about the era where every boring teenage girl who wanted to be unique modeled their entire personality on Zooey Deschanel.

Ah man I’ve just realised I’m a hipster - top knot (used to have slicked back with an undercut…), vegan, skinny jeans with flannel shirts, usually have a beard but had a couple big moustaches, love IPA, love coffee. No fedora or vinyl though. And my bikes have multiple gears and freehubs 😂

I really like the aesthetics of hipster culture. I like the style, my small coffee shop, I like art on the street, the acceptance of tatoo, I like the promotion of local brewery and artisans. Really I think it's of course hypocritical to call that movement anything anticapitalist, but I like the impact it had on culture.

There’s a pattern from my old friend group that were MySpace Emos in the 2000s. They were Hipster through the 2010s and now they are the minimalist vegan mediation etc.

In fairness about gentrification, many people moved to low income areas because that's where they could afford the rent. Not like NYC is cheap. Also, we really need to blame the developers because they were the ones with the money to afford to buy up places and businesses.

I lived in Vancouver from 98-2000. Hipster central before there were hipsters. I'll never forget the eyeroll my wife received when she ordered a Coke at a vegetarian restaurant. Commercial Drive in the east end was becoming the cool place to live as it was cheap and had a lot of character. For example, I had my first Belgian Fries with mayonnaise there. A Yuppie we were with, while drinking her Chardonnay, mentioned how she wanted to move there.

But while I do enjoy an occasional craft beer, it ain't that deep, I also have the long hair but refuse to bun it, I need it to be wild. I think what kept me from ever going full hipster was my uncle showing me FFDP when I was 12, I loved it, and it started my love for all the midwest and country metal love (King810 is one of my favorite bands, for reference).

being a hipster in my 20s was actually great. It was cringe for sure, but Ive always been a bit of an outcast, I grew up on marilyn manson and Nirvana in the 90s, and skateboarding, but I also embraced hipster life, and had many great nights with my hipster friends. But it was definitely an identity for some people, and all that defined them. I was a lazy hipster, so I still retain a lot of the aesthetics of a homeless person, just no dumb hats ;)

However I did have weird hair, wore vintage clothing (that's more of a 90s Seattle thing) and did and still do yoga.

There's nothing wrong with enjoying that, big band and swing are good genres, but labeling yourself as a jazz head when your interests lie only in those iterations of it kind of shows how superficial your enjoyment of the genre is as a whole. Like I don't want to gatekeep your enjoyment of jazz (that kind of behavior is pretty antithetical to the genre anyways), but when some of these kinds of people are super resistant to delve deeper into the world of jazz, it makes you question their motivations. I guess its the age old question of "Do you actually like the music, or do you just think you look cool by your association with it?" At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter; people are going to enjoy the things they enjoy no matter their internal motivations, and that's fine. Part of the reason I got into punk was because I liked the image that being a fan of the genre made for me-- to this day its still my favorite genre, but I had to start somewhere, lol. I've learned that when I meet someone like this, gatekeeping or calling them out for being a poser is the lamest thing to do; what i like to do is hit em with the old "You like X? Have you heard of Y? No? Let's rock this shit." Almost always a positive response, almost always a good time.

@@tamajack8179 Yeah, don't gatekeep; enlighten people and expand horizons. Its better for the species as a whole. I think with the jazz music (or any genre), people just like the more familiar, accessable stuff and find the more challenging stuff...well... CHALLENGING! Some people really like a challenge though!

As a guy who wears tight jeans, managed a coffee shop, and sported a mustache for a while, i was a probably a hipster, but whatever...

I haven't even watched more than 7 seconds of (not summer) this video, and I already want you to make a video about Idles. In my modest opinion, it might be called "the most promising punk rock band of the 21st century, who died inside their own hipster ass****". Anyways, love you Finn, feel free to use it

I lived in on Chicago's Northside all through my 20s in the 2000s. It was hipster central. If you want the ugly truth of it, the reason hipsters complained about "gentrification" is because the ones that came from the former middle class or the working class were constantly worried about being priced out of the majority white cool kid neighborhoods. Complaining about gentrification became a way of talking about the widespread fear of downward economic and social mobility but in socially acceptable code. In reality, any of these people whining about the rising cost of rent that came with the migration of yuppies or trust fund "north suburbs" people into "their neighborhood" could have, at any time, just moved to the south or west side neighborhoods which were majority black or hispanic and considerably cheaper. So why didn't they? It was like this weird cognitive dissonance that I didn't even understand at the time. Nobody would admit the truth to each other, because that would be racist, but it's like they wouldn't even admit it to themselves. Their fear of living in a higher crime black neighborhood somehow got recast as hipster non conformity and anti capitalism. Whenever I make this argument to former hipsters from that era, they get really pissed off and defensive because they know it's true.

Grunge was originally the indie rock of the 80’s that became mainstream in the 90’s. They named it Grunge because it was no longer “indie”.

well, "mainstream=bad, underground=good" is pretty wide definition of hipstery. punks and metalheads are also trying hard not to like anything related to mainstream and commercial success, but it doesn't make them hipsters. or it does?

The hipsters embrace of irony in music was very liberating for me. It suddenly meant that a lot of genres of music, especially 80s metal, and death metal were suddenly relevant and appreciated. There was this sense that yes you could be into weird kraut rock, but if you also took the latest pop music with a healthy grain of salt, that was also totally fine. While I personally don't subscribe to the everything as irony lens 100% myself, I think it's important to recognize that most art, especially art that takes itself very seriously, no matter how beautiful or affecting is often quite embarrassing, and a bit silly.

You should create a video on your main channel about hipsters or a series. It could be like how you focus a lot on nu metal or butt rock. I lived in Athens, GA (where REM is from) from 2011-2014, during the peak hipster era. That place was only behind Portland, NYC, and San Francisco in terms of amount of hipsters.

I had a chai tea latte with a shot of espresso today for $4.50. Call me what you want, that shit was bangin.

You forgot those hipster bars decorated with vintage light bulbs, DIY furniture and 50s advertisements that sells you the most expensive organic food or the most bitter craft beer you could possibly imagine.

I always thought that Yolo, Miley and Demi Lovato thing of the 2010s were the underclass’ answer to hipster culture. I could define what I hated about the 2010s with Portlandia and could defined the things I liked in that era with the movie Spring Breakers

Hipsters are the same same kids who, in the early 90’s went full hippy, then in the late 90’s, shopped at Hot Topic & tried to tell me why I don’t ‘get’ punk, despite having listened to it since the 80’s. They’re the kids who are always looking to belong and have zero depth, but could afford to ‘look the part’. More than anything, I feel sad for them.

The process is Hipsters gentrify a poor area and raise the property values and add coffee shops and craft beer, then when crime goes down yuppies move in, Starbucks move in, and rent/property becomes so high it forces the hipsters to a new poor area and the cycle continues

It's not so much that hipsters are forced to a poor area, my experience from living in a hipster neighorhood in a major city the mid 2000s (I grew up nearby) is that the majority were from upper middle class or affluent suburban white backgrounds. Even if they worked as a barista it wasn't uncommon to be renting a $1500 apartment by themselves because mom and dad were paying for it. The shift to poorer areas was more because after all the yuppies moved in there was another shift in the neighborhood and it was no longer seen as cool by the hipsters.
