I agree with that. That's good psychology.

My point, which you finally came to in your last post, was that if everybody does that, then everybody is a hipster, but that isn't the case. This person is a hipster and that person over there is not. Why? Because people say so. Even if everybody WAS a hipster, the term would lose all meaning.

This is why it just doesn't make sense to me.
nah but you're forgetting the counter cultural part

hipsters are people who derive influence from prominent counter cultures and stay on the cutting edge within said cultures

shopping at hollister isn't hipster

listening to death grips is
