"Hipster" vs "Punk"
Well Hipster is obviously the new Emo, which was the new Goth, which was the new Punk. But what's interesting to me about this new era is the strong denial of being. Punks in 77 didn't walk around with spiked hair saying "i'm not a punk". But hipsters strongly deny being a hipster. There is no pride. Why can't we change this?

Thank you so much for clearing this up for me. You are a scholar and a gentleman.
You say that as if punks don't exist anymore. Anyway, they way I see hipsters defined is as obnoxiously pretentious kids who wear absurdly overpriced clothing (that still looks like it came from goodwill) in an attempt at irony. They listen to 'obscure' bands and will challenge other hipsters based on their knowledge of said obscure bands. In general, hipsters look down on EVERYONE.
