Evolution of the "Hipster"

If you are older like me and want to know about what is referred to as the "Hipster" lifestyle, I suggest watching the series, "Girls." It got me thinking, this group of young folks are the newest version of what has been around for decades. I am glad they are still out there. The name has changed but they share the same qualities - briefly- they are real free thinking individuals, often artistic and highly intelligent, rebelling against the BS so they break societal norms of dress and lifestyle. They don't care what others think. It's a risky choice that can easily have unhappy endings but they aren't aware of this - they can't live any other way. But you know, they really get a chance to live life and to find out who they really are. This is a far better choice then being some brainless follower. Here is my Evolution of the Hipster. What do you think? What have I missed?
