No one calls themselves a hipster, as this is against the very core of being a hipster. What they all have in common is the idea of themselves as being effortless and a hipster as someone being a try-hard. Hipsters don’t follow trends, they just “happen” to like what’s trendy.

It is a word that refuses to disappear from our vocabulary. As descriptive and fleeting as it needs to be for us all to understand its meaning. If you look at this infographic and feel somewhat hit, we’re sorry to break it to you, you might be a hipster in everyone else’s eyes but your own. And we don’t judge, we love all you non-hipster hipsters, wherever in the world you may be and whatever non-trendy trend your following at the moment.
