For my ethnography, I hoped to dig deeper into finding some sort of definition of a hipster, but through these interviews and observations, I found out that there is and never will be a true understand of what a hipster is. The problem to defining a hipster is that no “authentic” hipster would ever admit that they are, in fact, a hipster. The term hipster has now become such a derogatory term that those who are coined a hipster are automatically assumed a “fake”. Despite this fact, within my observations and interviews, I focused on the fashions and styles that might characterize a hipster and notice any comparisons between people in both Union Square and Williamsburg. For this ethnography, I visited two common sites known for their trendy and unique shops and people: Union Square Park and Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
