Did they rename "hipster" to "millennial optimist"?

  I haven’t heard that term before, but I have noticed “hipster” being used less in recent years.

  I used to have millennial optimism, but it’s slowly turned into millennial depression.

  Ive been called a hipster and im an Xer. I have also been called a boomer, nerd, geek, dork, and a whole bunch of things that kinda mean the same thing. Also facist capitalist and communist. Its funny how these things are.

    What about bitch, lover, child, mother? Are you a sinner and a saint? Do you feel ashamed?

  No.

  Hipster to me was just the trust fund kids who wanted to cosplay as working class. They never went away, just the popularity of the term.

  And where I live there are still lots and lots of hipster types, though the working-class aesthetic isn’t ‘peak’ anymore, it’s considered more niche and the younger trust fundies are much more about conspicuously and overtly displaying their wealth.

  That said, I know plenty of people who are like 35-50, who dress like they make 40K a year, and they make 500K a year, and they identify as ‘poor working class’.

    So you’ve defined millennial hipster, but what would you say makes it different from millennial optimism?

      I have no idea what that term is, I have never heard of it until this post. Sounds like some counter-doomer trend on social media where folks are being ’optimistic’ to contrast them from the endless glowering about how the world is awful.

  Hipster was largely replaced with performative a while ago. Although I’m usually behind the times so that term may have also been replaced by now.
