Living in nyc I see a ton of hipsters everyday (99% of whom live in willamsburg brooklyn). At first I didn't get it, all the shitty clothes and attitudes, but I've learned that most of them are actually quite cultured and smart and only get a bad rap because every single one of them does the same "non conformist" thing. But its kind of an identity that they can relate to and identify each other with and most of them are actually really cool, and I say this going in with the attitude of "what a bunch of lame douches". Talk to a few and go see a show of their bands and maybe u will see them differently. Maybe not.
Tldr: hipsters can be interesting if you give them a fair chance.
