I was doing a search of the internet to figure out what a hipster is. Looking at a lot of pictures did not help me identify a clothing style except ugly thick rimmed glasses. Other than that there were great inconsistencies in what I was reading. The consistant factors seem to be: You like indie music and films, you have a bike with only one gear, you like Apple (but are anti-corporation), you drink Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, and you shop at American Apparel or Urban Outfitters or thrift stores. And apparently nobody self-identifies as a hipster, it is entirely a derogatory label. Are hipsters the same as indie? I didn't know indie was a subculture until I started reading Questionable Content. Now I am confused. Is there any relationship with emo? The hair seems kind of similar.
While I'm asking questions about labels for subcultures, is there a name for the people who wear suit pants cut off at the knee and suspenders and button up shirts and snap-brim hats? Are they related to ska music? Or swing dancing? Does every subculture have a music style to go with it? I am hopelessly ignorant.
