The Bourgeois Bohemian. Those who strive for the starving artist image, but without the starving or the art. They represent the futility of being a young person trying to be shocking, groundbreaking and passionate in the 21st century. They're total non-conformists and don't dress like anyone else. Ever. Typically, they wear skinny-jeans with ironic t-shirts, vintage jackets and moustaches. Silly hats are optional. They also don't act like anyone else. Typically, they support obscure independent music and fair trade/ organic produce. See what I mean? There's no pidgeon-holing a hipster.
Hipster bands include Animal Collective, Vivian Girls, the Antlers and Grizzly Bear. Now that I've mentioned them, they're evil mainstream bullshit. On to the next band!
