The term hipster in its present usage first appeared in the 1990s and became particularly prominent in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
But there was an earlier hipster movement in the 1940s. Hipsters (or hepcats) in the late 1940s, referred to lovers of jazz, especially bebop. The first hipsters were Black.
Modern hipsters are thought to be conformists who think they’re being individuals. A modern hipster is therefore ironic. The archetypal contemporary hipster is white.
