Wikipedia:

In the 1990s, the 1940s slang term hipster began being used to describe a North American subculture of young, well-educated urban middle class and upper class adults with leftist or liberal social and political views and a shared interest in a non-mainstream fashion and cultural aesthetic. The hipster scene is often associated with alternative music and "indie" culture ( independent rock and independent film), and other non-mainstream products, such as vintage clothing, 1970s-era vinyl records, magazines such as Vice and Nylon and the Pitchfork Media music website. In North America, hipsters often dress in a campy or ironic manner, in which retro 1970s-style sportswear is mixed with Salvation Army store clothing. The social scene is often centred in a gentrified downtown area where DJ clubs, fair-trade coffee cafés, and organic restaurant sit side-by-side with thrift stores and working class taverns.

I've been doing all of that way before it was considered "in". LOL
