I. Hipster is a vague term (you say hipster, I say why?).
II. There are a lot of “groups” of people who dress the same, it's a signifier to other like-minded people (politicians do it, punks do it, geeks freaks and bros do it, and so do you).
III. The “grain” only runs one way. If you are going against the grain, you are doing so with a lot of other people, and vice versa (you are with the program or with the other program).
VI. Keeping a well-groomed beard and sharp haircut takes a lot more attention to detail and care than shaving every day and slapping on a baseball cap.
V. In regards to male dressing habits, clothes and shoes that fit and are made well age well (beer box freebies are made for an imaginary size of person).
There is no need to bitch about “hipsters.” They're not harming anyone, and if you feel so strongly that they are, then go help the people/places/things the evil “hipsters” are harming. -Snobs Over Slobs?
