So the difference between a "real hipster" and a "fake hipster" is a certain level of happiness? Being happy doesn't make you hip nor does loathing. What makes a person a hipster is their level of awareness. I would say the hippest people (in the eyes of the hipster) are people who have discovered something profound about the nature of human existence (positive or negative) and live their life outside the mental constraints of the vast majority. Ironically these idols are not hipsters, they are bohemians or artists or something like that. they're just being themselves. In a materialistic culture; hipster aesthetics are trivial manifestations of one's desire to be something more than one is. Adorning or enjoying these things does not make one anything more than a hipster.
On Being a Hipster Is an Excellent and Wonderful Thing!
