Hipster Olympics: Stereotypes of the hipster

Pictured above, clip from youtube video depicting which hipster can find the most "ironic tee-shirt" the quickest. It overemphasizes the hipster cultures tendency to shop in thrift stores.
Click on the first youtube depiction on the right called "Hipster Olympics". This youtube further emphasizes the stereotypes of the "hipster" depicting them as "coffee/nicotine addicted, ironic vintage shirt wearing, over-artsy" individuals. This youtube acts as a humorous addition to poke fun of the hipster culture. This video only further emphasizes overgeneralizations and assumptions about the culture. It may be ideal to read all the blog posts to understand the hipster culture before reviewing this "overgeneralized" video. Please be aware that the stereotypes/humor could be viewed as offensive.
