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

So you've defined millennial hipster, but what would you say makes it different from millennial optimism?

    I have no idea what that term is, I have never heard of it until this post. Sounds like some counter-doomer trend on social media where folks are being 'optimistic' to contrast them from the endless glowering about how the world is awful. Which I could see older and established millennials gleefully participating in to distinguish themselves from the younger folks who are screeching about how broke and mentally ill they are 24/7, and well, like half of the millennials who do that too.
