As the writer and hipster expert Christian Lorentzen, who, ironically declared himself to be a non-hipster, said: “The fraud held that there are people called hipsters who follow a creed called hipsterism and exist in a realm called hipsterdom,” he said. “The truth is that there was no such culture worth speaking of, and the people called hipsters just happened to be young, and, more often than not, funny-looking.”

Which actually raises an important — to this discussion, anyway — question: how integral is youth to hipsterdom? Is there an age limit? Or better: will the hipster age better than its boomer counterpart, the hippie?
