It feels like a lot of people are getting into “millennial optimism”, but it feels a lot like hipster shit.

    There was definitely a time for millennials where hipster was a defined aesthetic to that generation.

      Yeah, but as an aesthetic definition, millenial is more a correlational than ontological. Most hipsters would be millenial, but they all don’t have to be. Put a boomer in skinny jeans, oil their beard, and put a craft heifeweisen in their hand and you’ll have a hipster.

        I’m not using the term millennial as the new word for hipster, but “millennial optimism”. Your response seems to be cutting that out.

      when I was called one I think its because I was dressed down on a bike with long hair. it was younger folk who likely no longer thought hippie when seeing that look.
