Also interesting: the number of them with extensive tattoos... I'm not sure if even a single one of them is not inked.

Makes me wonder, that's all. Not sure how to analyze that.

It's funny how, in their rabid quest for individuality, they all came out looking the same.

An MIT professor calls it the “hipster affect.” Here’s an article about the study he did: https://www.technologyreview.com/2019/02/28/136854/the-hipster-effect-why-anti-conformists-always-end-up-looking-the-same/ it’s cause they aren’t actually for individuality, they’re against “cis” people.

I have always found hipsters ironic for being the antithesis of the individuality and uniqueness they claim to celebrate. There's nothing wrong with a subculture focused on good beards, craft beers, flannels and the rest of the hipster aesthetic, but to claim that they do all of this for individuality is a lie. They want a comminity, just not the "traditional" one

But with this group, the two with beards are the only two that really stand out much from the rest

Makes sense. It's too easy and lazy to be anti- anything. But what are you standing for?
