Hipsters have become a big internet meme, just like zombies and pictures of cats. I was listening to an archive of a really old episode of The Best Show on WFMU from 2000. One of the guests started complaining about hipsters and Williamsburg. So, effectively this has been going on for at least ten years.
I've been identified as a hipster before and it doesn't bother me, but I'm not personally championing it as a movement, if you can even call it that. It's just dumb and old and I'm tired of it. So to everyone:
Conservatives - Who cares if they dress funny and support the gays/are gay? They are perfectly compatible with capitalism, which works out a lot better for you than actual hippies.
Liberals - You can have a poser fight with them all day if you want. Who cares if someone supports an issue just because it's cool? At least you are getting some support for your cause. If you think they are silly or annoying, just ignore them.
To the internet/everyone else - Vice magazine does the best job of both creating hipsters and making fun of them, so just leave it to the experts. We can still enjoy making fun of people at Walmart, because that will never ever get old.
