At least they've figured out the backwards hat problem at shows.

What makes this semiotics and semantics discussion all the more hilarious is the fact that in the comments section of the BYT article, there's a couple people having a pretty raging debate over whether hipsters are the bourgeoisie or proletariat class in modern society.

Why must we analyze hipsters so? Can't we just let hipsters exist? Can't the hipsters just be?

Hipsters are totally boojy – they just like to think they are the proletariat.

It's a vestige of grunge. Before that, indie music was "college rock" and it's fans were content being upper middle class. Then grunge came along and everyone started dressing like junkie lumberjacks and pretending like they wanted to wait tables or work in a gas station for the rest of their lives.

Now the pendulum has swung too far the other way and the kids have to wear Marc Jacobs and Dior Homme and pretend like blogging their pedestrian existence makes them some rebellious wing of the Literati.
