The most recent incarnation of hipsters (in the
UK at least).
Almost always seen in some sort of headwear: most commonly a flat-peaked cap but sometimes some sort of beanie instead. Other typical clothing includes graphic tees, chunky trainers (usually skate shoes or
basketball shoes, preferably Nike), parkas, plaid shirts, hoodies and slim-fitting chinos or jeans. Big headphones are a popular accessory.
Their favourite activities include smoking
weed, clubbing and going to rap shows. A notable minority also try their hand at
skateboarding, especially after the rise in popularity of OFWGKTA.
They listen to "underground" hip-hop (favourites include Immortal Technique, Aesop Rock, Sage
Francis, Saul Williams, Curren$y, MF DOOM). They also listen to electronic music ranging from
dubstep, house and IDM to witch house and the abstract "beat music" of the Brainfeeder Collective. They'll tend to feign an appreciation of old skool rap, but rarely actually listen to anything made before the year 2000.
They invariably revere the late great J Dilla as a god.
They'll rarely if ever identify with the term "hipster", probably considering it an insult, but
may refer to themselves as "hip hop heads" or "beat heads".
Hipster-hopper 1: "Dude let's drop a
load of mandy and go to a rave!"
Hipster-hopper 2: "Nah bro, let's just
roll another
spliff, put on some beats and chill out here."
