http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolof_language
"Wolof words in English are believed to include yam, from Wolof nyami "to eat food", nyam in Barbadian English [3] meaning to eat (also compare Seychellois nyanmnyanm, also meaning to eat [4] ), and hip or hep, as hip cat, from Wolof hepikat "one who has his eyes open" or "one who is aware".[5]"
It began in Afrika-ka-ka...

You were just always hot. When you let your hair down, the music plays in slow motion, but you don't know it.

Yeah forgot about Howl, but I never 'heard' it, though in Hackers he does quote that poem haha. During the Beat era it was synonymous with hippie and hipsters today don't remind me of hippies in the slightest lol.
Seems like a totally different definition today. Kramer definitely fits in with the 21st century hipster crowd... the hair, the skinny jeans and crazy bright clothes, the constant drinking and eating of 'elite' coffees and foods. He even moved to LA haha.

A while back my dad was saying how a few years ago you would've struggled to get kids wearing plimsoles but it is now the fashion, he then went on to say he's looking forward to when his boat shoes are fashionable. Gave us a good laugh at the time as boat shoes were becoming more common but he was completely oblivious to this. My sister started calling him Bobby T trendsetter

My last school picture of my high school career was taken in a Hawaiian shirt. Like 5 us wore the exact same shirt.

hipsters are almost always "fake nice"
i'm the anti-hipster
i don't dress well, i have no style, i like regular things and i'm honest/rude/mean. while a hipster says things like "no, yeah -- totally, i love that" (and doesn't mean it)
I'll say "go fuck yourself, asshole" and mean it wholeheartedly.
