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

Ive been called a hipster and im an Xer. I have also been called a boomer, nerd, geek, dork, and a whole bunch of things that kinda mean the same thing. Also facist capitalist and communist. Its funny how these things are.

    Hipster was never a generationally specific thing in mind; not sure what the connection is to OP.

    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.
