Hipster hate

So before i came to uni i wasn't even aware that there was a group of people- referred to by society as "Hipsters"

It wasn't until i saw this video- posted by a uni mate on facebook. I have posted it below for your convenience. Additional note: in this video they seem to be using the word 'dickhead' instead of hipster. Apparently both words are interchangable...

And as i was watching it I couldn't help but think- 'but i like the way those people dress...' is that a terrible thing to admit?

Upon further research into this fascinating topic- i found that there is a lot of hate directed at these individuals. It seems they are disliked for trying too hard to go against the mainstream market.  

In fact last week someone at uni branded me a hipster! :O But after some self-inflicted insight into who i am (this was a very elating exercise btw- everyone should do it!), i came out the other end with the simple conclusion. 'I'm definitely not a hipster.' Quirky? Hell to the yes! But i indulge myself with the latest mainstream gossip as much as the next guy. And i'm not ashamed to admit it.

I asked another uni comrade, "why all the hatin' on all the hipsters?"
And the reply went, "They just try too hard to be different. It's just like, chill."

Here's another video i found whilst scouting around the interwebs:

I like both videos for their obvious entertainment value, however i still don't quite understand; Why the Hipster Hate??
