At least amongst the New Yorkers I'm connected to online, people were really geeked about this Chicago 6 Hipster Anti-Olympics Revolutionaries thing.
First of all, those crusties were agro-hippie anarchists. Second, obviously "hipster" has become like the term "cougar"; a buzzword that media feel is potent because - for all intents and purposes - mainstream fuddy duddies find it a humorous, with-it reference they are totally up on.
This fact begets another fact: the aesthetics and attitudes associated with whatever the public consensus decides constitutes hipster is about the be represented in a bad TV show sometime soon. I don't think Cougartown is very good.
*this is an intrajoke punchline from an old George Carlin act i used to listen to so often that such phrases pop into my head to explain phenomena I'm experiencing in realtime. What does your brain work like?

I have started using the term from a NYT article this summer that describe chubby guys wearing tight tees and skinny jeans, who try to look like hippsters, as "coolsters".
Screw Agro-Dirties and adopt the Coolster.
