I did find the expression hipster used relating to some 60's groovy cats preLSd era.

Whoah, it's not demeaning! Not meant to be, anyway.
Listen- most people would probably call me a hipster (though an aging one). Yes, I recall "art fag", and "punk" precedes me. But I've been called a hipster for years, and I've never considered it an insult. There was a time when I was called a punk, too, and a "goth" (which really stung). But I realize that I'm probably a hipster in truth.
Listen, I'm not using it in that way. No insult was meant.
Why's this thread still here?
