Thanks to Paul Park for this interesting read...
"Hipsterdom is the first “counterculture” to be born under the advertising industry’s microscope, leaving it open to constant manipulation but also forcing its participants to continually shift their interests and affiliations. Less a subculture, the hipster is a consumer group – using their capital to purchase empty authenticity and rebellion. But the moment a trend, band, sound, style or feeling gains too much exposure, it is suddenly looked upon with disdain. Hipsters cannot afford to maintain any cultural loyalties or affiliations for fear they will lose relevance."

Good stuff. I've always thought that. Nice to see someone put a little flesh to it.
this definition is proof against the contention of the writer of the article on Christian Hipsters.
There may be Christian hipsters out there, but they probably don't read Flannery O'Conner.
