just like the topic title says, hipsters are all about being a small group of people that are totally different from eveyone else, what if more and more people just becomes hipster, how would that affect thehipster image?

If being a hipster ever becomes mainstream we have bigger problems to worry about.

They've been mainstream for years. They just pretend they're not.

The original hipsters will bash the later ones, stating that they were hipsters before it was cool.

How could Skrillex be a hipster? his music is pretty mainstream so if he was a true hipster he would have probably killed himself by now.

Hipsters are mainstream, urban outfitter kids, indie cindys, etc. Its a branch term, it really doesn't have a specific set of people in mind. Just their shared values and habits. Its an amalgamation of all previous trends chewed up and spewed out.

I'm a hipster and I will make a hipster army and take over the world and make everyone a hipster and then I will stop being a hipster and I will be the only unique person in the world by not being a hipster any more which will make me the ultimate hipster.

Being a hipster is subjective and often image related, so the omg cool hipsters will slightly change to keep ahead of the times.

i.e. look out for some really horrible trendy haircuts.

They'll just move onto something else. The emos and scene kids of yesteryear became the hipsters of today, they'll just make something else up soon.

Hipster is kind of vague and subjective. Why the Skrillex pic? He doesn't do things based on if they're mainstream or not, he just does what he loves.

Mainstream "hipsters" are not hipsters. You main streamers probably never heard about the real hipsters. They are out there, you just don't know about them undergroundness.

hipsterism is just another trend, eventually it will die out just like every other trend and something else will pop up and we will all have the same discussion about it.

I never understood the thought process behind it.

also, being one defeats the purpose of being one... most hipsters look very similar to eachother.

If hipsters ever became too mainstream (well, more so than now), we'd probably have to call out the National Guard and cull the hipster population to prevent mass hysteria.

I wouldn't mind seeing hipsters go away, most of them are pretentious and annoying.

If a hipster becomes mainstream, then they're not a hipster.

ITT: people calling others with certain fashion styIes "hipsters." That often has less to do with the term than not...

Impossible

Like the virus they are, hipsters are in a constant state of evolution

In an effort to avoid being brocken down by society's immune system "the mainstream",

and continue to feed off said society with no benifit

Buddy Holly

The original hipster.

I really do not have a problem with most hipsters, sure they can be a bit pretentious but with reason. I wouldn't say I am a hipster but I definitely have tendencies.

True they just want to be "different" by cloning themselves but then they realise after 5 years their clones so then they move to another phase till they get cloned.

He's being ironic about hipsters, who are ironic in what they wear, listen to, do etc. Inception.

why a picture of skrillex? (Sonny moore of From First to Last fame. which pretty much defined screamo). id say its definatly more how people act than it is how they dress.
