Post-hipster

Post-hipster (abbreviation: pohip) literally means 'after the hipster'. While the term hipster refers to something "related to the present or contemporary subculture", the hipsterism movement and the following reaction of posthipsterism are defined by a set of perspectives. The neologism is used in critical and reactionary subcultures to refer to a point of departure for lifestyle perspectives and aesthetic tastes in the early 21st century.
PostHipster
Post-hipster is an aesthetic, literary, political or social movement which is the basis of the attempt to describe a condition, or a state of being, or something concerned with changes to subculture conditions as 'posthip'. It is the "fashionable and intellectual movement" in the arts and sciences arising as a backlash to hipsterism in the early 21st century.
The fledgling post-hipster movement is gaining momentum. New York Magazine named the Brooklyn, New York bar Larry Lawrence as the Best Post-Hipster Bar of 2006. According to The New York Times, Vice, the brand that includes Vice the magazine, is being repositioned for a better fit in the "posthipster, globally pluralist era".
Reaction to hipsterism
Post-hipster was originally a reaction to hipsterism.
Largely a reaction against the ironic nature of hipsterism. Advocates earnestness and individuality while abhorring nihilism and apathy.
Post-hipsterism may also refer to a movement away from the often arrogant abhorrance of hipsterism commonplace among hipsters. Whereas hipsters are known for their denial of being hipsters and general denigration of hipster characteristics, post-hipsters recognize hipster elements in themselves (particularly in style or music tastes) openly.
