on the subject of female fashion and normcore etc, i was watching this mix video the other day and it has some brilliant photos of young essex ravers in 95 - really identify with this, its exactly what me and mates looked like. What particularly stood out to me was the female fashion (such as at 2mins in)- this was pre-cocaine raving, and most people just wore much more normal, non flashy clothing - i wouldnt be surprised if in part the trend to normcore is also partly to enjoy the freedom of not having to wear such showy clothes (even though fashionistas will be wearing it to show.)
it was a great time to grow up....felt a lot freer from vanity/fashion pressure....I dont know really...anyhow this is a great mix and happy memories...summer of 95 was a heatwave

It's being enslaved of your own free will
Para ser grande, sê inteiro: nada
Teu exagera ou exclui.
Sê todo em cada coisa. Põe quanto és
No mínimo que fazes.
Assim em cada lago a lua toda
Brilha, porque alta vive.
To be great, be whole; nothing
Yours inflate or exclude.
Be whole in everything. Put all you are
Into the smallest you do.
So, in each lake, the whole moon
Shines, because up above it lives.
-- Fernando Pessoa*

It just occurred to me that my son's idea of a "hipster" is greatly at odds with what's apparent from this thread. Having not had come across the word until my son uttered it, I have now had the "image" he communicated to me "dethroned" by what I have been reading here... Only one thing in common between the two and that is the attempt to "appear" "something". Hence the poem.

I want it that way
when I do a search for female hipster the results seem a lot more ultra-feminine, traditional make-up and hair & revealing clothing than I think of. 
I think of black skinny jeans, converse/DM's, band t-shirts and stripey things, thick-rimmed glasses, tattoos & piercings, wool hats, choppy haircuts, scruffyness, and a more androgynous look...similar to what it was when I was in my 20's. I'm having a hard time believing what Google wants me to believe. I don't see many people other than Taylor Swift fans dressing the way they the media think "hipsters" do.

i dont care what anyone looks like - hipsters are great, i think they look funny and avoid them. none of my mates dress like this. We dont follow fashion and i have never either.
The model Cara Delevigne is a hipster i guess. Its wearing skinny jeans, vintage shirt and all star trainers (shit - im wearing this right now!!!). Vintage makeup (ie, like a flapper with pale skin and dark, sparkly eye makeup) and anti jewellry bar a vintage necklace or old Tiffany chain (thats also me!)....and being skinny.

Always there when I need me...
OMG! Yes, it was so much easier not having to think about wtf you were gonna wear out...just come as you are.
Fav staple of mine at the time would have been jeans or shorts over tights, Trainers on my feet... with layers on top ...vest top, tee shirt and thick sweat top, most of which would be stripped off and tied around my waist as I got hot from dancing! Then they would all be put back on again as I got the pill 'chills'

Fashion does have a way of creeping up on people
Ha, can i just say boy hipsters (skinny jeans, flat caps, beards) are to be avoided! the boys look sad but the girls look good. It's a tomboy look - i have always thought most girls look great in jeans, runners and a parka.

I reckon I'm a hipster tbh. My bezzer referred to my 'Shoreditch twat' hair the other day, and i do live in the hub of the hipster hive. I definitely exist

only those with narrow feet.
Really?
Finally, we have the defining feature of the hipster. Narrow feet.
