  Hipster is one of those terms that's hard to grasp.

  There seem to be two types in neighborhoods like Williamsburg:

  1) the ambitious, generally older creative types who are putting blood sweat and tears into projects like creating a restaurant, making hand stitched anachronistically tailored suits, or producing an amazingly progressive electro-dance album...

  2) all the directionless douchebags who try to fit some generic "look"—the type who don't even know they're being ironic, get what they're referencing, or know they are reviving. One day I was standing outside a bar in the Lower East Side and I just realized this second type had taken over . Nobody I talked to seemed to be working on anything other than their hair. It was just a bunch of kids who had never read or soaked up anything. Just no ideas.
