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.
"Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

"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.

Get the hipster manipulationmug. Someone who is in the state of being "basic", or is classified as such, yet longs to be a "hipster." Like Pinocchio longed to be a real boy, these Pinocchio-Hipsters long to be real hipsters. Yet no matter how hard they try, how hard they grunge, or how tight their jeans are... they are doomed to be "basic," forever.
Cate longed to become hipster, but she was basic to the core. Like a giraffe in a duck costume, this Pinocchio Hipster wasn't fooling anyone.

Get the Pinocchio Hipstermug. The enemy of the emo. The two groups generally hate each other. Emo people will generally try to drown hipsters in the mainstream, while hipsters will put the emos in a circle room so they have no corner to cry in.
"Ugh. It's a hipster." Says the emo girl.
"I listened to that band before I was cool." Replies the hipster girl.
*war begins*

Get the hipstermug. They establish new trends, bring back old ones, make use of the bizarre, and bring back what has been abandoned. True hipsters are creative, artistic and, despite their unconformity to culture, have a great sense of what will and will not be acceptable. They can take an old pair of shoes from their father's closet and make them trendy again. They can go to a Goodwill, spend $17.50 on an entire outfit, and still be best-dressed at the party. Everyone wants to be a true hipster, but hardly anyone is. True hipsters come by one-in-a-thousand; or even fewer. The other nine-hundred and ninety-nine "hipsters" just walk on foundations already laid by the true hipster. They do irregular things just because they want to be cool, not because they are naturally innovative and creative.
True Hipster - "I don't have money for all the expensive brands. It's ok though, I found some cool stuff at Goodwill that I can afford."
Hipster Look-A-Like - "I have loads of money, but I'm going to go buy used clothes at the Goodwill, just because it's the thing to do."

Get the Hipstermug. Dude: Hey Aiden, are you coming to Homecoming this Friday?
Aiden: Nah, I'm going to open mic at the Coffee Roaster that night.
Dude: You can be such a beta-hipster sometimes.

Get the beta-hipstermug. To qualify as real hipster you need to posses Allan Ginsberg qualities. You need to be a communist, a homosexual and a user of drugs. However by 2012, this term started to be used by mass media and became a synonym for phony normie plebeians who come destroy all things good.
-I'm a hipster
-so you write experimental poetry, salute trotsky and take it up the bum?
-no, i listen to skrillix

Get the hipstermug. Someone who probably drives a prius or a subaru. Usually wears trendy square glasses and either the tightest of tight jeans or jeans with a "cool" label such as American Eagle or Gap. Gay men also love name brand jeans as well. Usually cares about the environment and where their food comes from. Generally obsessed with wife or dog, sometimes es both. If older than 35 they usually have quit cigarette's but continue to some the Devils lettuce.
Tells stories from their youth such as crying to albums after a bad breakup or the old bad habbit of taking pants of in bars.
