The term Hipster originally referred to people who adapted the lifestyle of jazz musicians in the 1940’s. Today, it means the guy with a mustache wearing flannel, skinny jeans and Ray-Bans walking down the street of a once not-so-gentrified neighborhood. As a resident of Silver Lake, Los Angeles, I can assure you hipsters are way friendlier than they look. While everyone makes fun of them, a lot of things hipsters love have become mainstream. Here are 20 things most loved by Hipsters, some of which you probably really like too, and a few things you probably don't understand…
