The word hipster came up again in conversation today, and thus, the ever standing question of hipster looms once more. Why is there such a poor stigma with the word - and doesn't it ultimately infer something positive? Here's one person's take on the origin of the taboo-term:

The original meaning of hip: back in the jazz days, the Beat days, hip meant you’re “hip to something,” as in awake or alive to something. I love that. Hipster implied someone who was very much of the present moment, the modern age, the cutting edge. Codifying what is hip and not hip, as does VICE and American Apparel—and then making money of it—ain’t hip. - Waylon Lewis

To me, at this point -- if wearing glasses means being called hipster instead of loser, bring-it-on. holler
