While sharing some common traits such as ironic facial hair, love of fixed gear bicycles, and a eclectic outdated hobby, there is some variation to the hipster.
-High fashion hipster-there clothes are meant to look old school but definitely cost a bunch of money and every piece is completely thought out.
-Punk hipster-looks like they walked out of London in 1983. Lots of striped clothing, shredded pants, drapey shirts. Throw in some neon and haircuts with random parts of their head shaved.
-Bohemian hipster (the majority of Montreal)-a bit more salt of the Earth. Thrift store clothing that never matches on purpose with a hint of Wasp/preppy. And definitely glasses to that are way too big for your face, which may be common to all hipster species. Love to bike and probably garden. And you kind of end up admiring them.
-Traditional Williamsburg Hipster-skinny jean, t-shirt that are too small but are too cool to pass up (too cool is likely something your mom would wear, think kittens or eagles). Adorned with formerly unique tattoos that everyone now has.
*the ultimate hipster dabbles in each of these categories.
