The word {{w|Hipster_(1940s_subculture)|"hipster"}} originally referred to counter-cultural youth and jazz aficionados in the 1940s and 1950s before the {{w|Hippie}} culture developed in the mid '60s. Recently, however, {{w|Hipster_(contemporary_subculture)|"hipster"}} has come to refer to, in Wikipedia's terms, "a subculture of young, urban middle class adults and older teenagers that appeared in the 1990s. The subculture is associated with independent music, a varied non-mainstream fashion sensibility, progressive or independent political views, alternative spirituality or atheism/agnosticism, and alternative lifestyles." | The word {{w|Hipster_(1940s_subculture)|"hipster"}} originally referred to counter-cultural youth and jazz aficionados in the 1940s and 1950s before the {{w|Hippie}} culture developed in the mid '60s.
