I said to a friend the other day that the hipster was not one thing: there were (very roughly) “cocaine hipsters” (Parliament Lights and LCD Soundsystem) and “pot hipsters” (American Spirits and Devendra Banhart) — and others, I’m sure, that differ from and overlap with these.
But I was always uneasy about the “cocaine hipsters,” myself.
