The birth of a Hipster

Hipsters are known for liking things that don't go with the mainstream. If everyone is wearing pink, hipsters will wear blue and say they liked blue "before it was cool." This "trendsetter" mentality, of liking things that go outside of the mainstream, was a type of personality that was completely ignored during the era of blockbusters and music "hits". Directors and producers did not care about the hipsters of the world and only wanted to sell things that spoke to the greater good. They were under the spell that popularity sells and anything obscure will just take up shelf space. These people were not entirely wrong, but a new era was born in the midst of all of this: the HIPSTERS. Hipsters loved Niche markets because these markets would offer less popular material that still sold to a large number of people, these people including hipsters. There will always be a niche market in the world because not everyone likes the same things and not everyone wants to listen to the same music and watch the same shows. We are NOT robots. The hipsters ate up these niche markets and now niche markets are popping up everywhere. Record players are making a comeback as well as Polaroid cameras. I will admit that i even have a Polaroid and I absolutely love it.
