Meta-Hip

Beyond hip. The next phase in the History of Cool (time for John Leland to add a chapter to his book) Non-mainstream culture (and it's trends) will be heading to a more organic, fluid phase. Culture is taking a swing away from the the image conscious, cooler-than-thou attitude of the Hipster sect, moving into a cycle where simplicity, inner pursuits and brightness are the nexus.

Culture runs in cycles and the next phase will feature a meta-hip attitude.

mohemian

Modern day bohmeians. Living on the Fringe, but connected via obssession with Technolgy. Similar to former bohemians, beats and hippies - concerned with social issues, Indie culture and creativity, but connect more on-line then at coffee shops, etc.

Chicago's West Town is crawling with Mohemians - grungy style, I-pod in hand, Cellie in pocket, walking with notebook to coffee shop to cop free wi-fi to chat with friends and download some obscure English rock.
