1999, the birth of the modern hipster

The hipster of the 21st century are a subculture of people who are already dominant.
They are not your underdogs carving out a place to breathe freely.
The modern day hipster aligns himself or herself with rebel subculture and with the dominant class.  
Thus, the rebel consumer, who rebels against nothing.
The artist who creates no art.
The hipsters who flooded Brooklyn and the entire Western World in the 2000's might look like Bohemians, but they are not.
They are not anti-authoritarian, like other youth subcultures through history. They drink the Kool-Aid of corporate consumer culture, as they adopt a fauxhemian lifestyle.  
The hipster will be found mixing with anarchists, free, vegans, environmentalists, punks and even anti-capitalist communities.
The hipster thus infiltrates, appropriates and commodities these countercultures, creating elite trends and brands in collaboration with consumer culture.  
Take your rustic, neatly manicured beards and hair, your curly mustaches with the wax that goes with it and please go fuck yourselves! All of you!
