Actually, I think you're referring to hippies, not hipsters. As Urban Dictionary states,
Quote:
Hipsters are a subculture of men and women typically in their 20's and 30's that value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter. The greatest concentrations of hipsters can be found living in the Williamsburg, Wicker Park, and Mission District neighborhoods of major cosmopolitan centers such as New York, Chicago, and San Francisco respectively.
I also like the Wikipedia entry, which asserts
Quote:
[H]ipsterism fetishizes the authentic elements of all of the fringe movements of the postwar era—beat, hippie, punk, even grunge, and draws on the cultural stores of every unmelted ethnicity and gay style, and regurgitates it with a winking inauthenticity.
Having seen my share of hipsters ironically drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon, yeah, that one resonates :-)
EDIT: It has occured to me that the last thing a hipster would do is complain do the government. Their whole image is built around the idea that they really don't give a f*ck about anything.
