hipster manipulation

Many things throughout history and in our daily lives have been at one point influenced by hipster manipulation one way or another. Be it laws that have come into effect or lies we are told by those in power so people will believe they are true.

When the media and news outlets try to sensationalise a fad, before most people have even heard of it. News outlets will sometimes use hipster manipulation to try and start a fad by falsly claiming that everyone is doing it. It's like a form of peer pressure when someone makes the broad generalisation that all of the kids are doing it.

Some news outlets have been known to create fake news stories in order to claim that they were the first to report on it.

Many times in order to get a viral trend started, a person or company will try to create the illusion that everyone who has not yet heard about it is late to the party.

Many companies and industries will lobby for changes to manipulate the publics view on things or what becomes into law. As a dishonest way of making profits.

"When in 2012 Tide Pods launched, these jokes about people eating them existed - but in small niches and never spoken about publicly because admittedly it is very weird."

Noone had heard of the new viral challenge until the media used hipster manipulation and then it was on everyones mind.

Barbecue hipster

Bearded and/or flanelwearing wanna be trailblazers. They want to be different from the general population so they set themselves apart by cooking over open fire and using special woodtype chips to get that "smokey flavour." They might be really good at it or tremendously bad.

They feel that by doing this, they are showing that they are more in tune with their inner hunter gatherer. It is their only interesting personality trait.

Appearance: flannels with rolled up sleeves, in their 20s-40s, beards, tree or mountain tattoos, can't cook anything other than proteins, might wear a beanie.
"I just saw Eric the other day, he dresses like such a barbecue hipster."

"Hahaha yeah, doubt that guy has ever touched a grill in his life though."

Hipster Haemorrhoid

Classic bikes that have been modified to look like cafe racers for use by hipsters to attempt making them look cool and manly.

The practice has now given true classic cafe racers a bad name by association.
Oh look, there is another hipster on a cafe racer, typical Hipster Haemorrhoid.

hipster nut

When a hipster's clothes, hair, personality, or general appearance is so perfect it makes you want to nut...in a good way.
"Did you see that girl that just walked by? Her glasses just made me hipster nut!"
