>there are people that define themselves based on consumer culture and things instead of ideas.
But the people that define themselves based on consumerism are FAR from hipsters. The people that define themselves based on consumerism are the rednecks that sincerely wear John Deer hats and only drive Ford (because it is made in America, of course!!1). It is the people in the innercity that cause riots when new Nike shows come out-- I'm dead serious, this happens often-- and will take $200 from their child's welfare receipt to pay for these fucking shoes. It's the age group 14-24, often called bros, that wear overpriced garbage because it has a man on a horse on the top right of the shirt, or only wear gym shorts, or only wear under-armor.
THOSE are the consumerists. These "hipsters" she is describing, these are the people that have no problem only shopping at second-hand clothing store, they buy fair-trade coffee, they only buy independent records, they are as far from capitalist victims as you can get. I promise you this.
But there are varying layers. There are those who will buy logo-less clothing at any cost, and then there are those like to the left who most likely buy everything second-hand.
You fucking posers think that you are against capitalism because you aren't a hipster? Why can I imagine BIll O'Reilly saying this?
If you are against capitalism, shop second-hand.
