I was just on Quora and came across this question:
Why are so many people in tech community hipsters?
Yes, I lol’d. Sprinkled in more serious answers (which is sort of odd, for an obviously quirky question) are my favorite responses:
- I can’t believe I am entering a conversation on hipsters on Quora but I’ll bite…
- Because hipster culture is nerd culture dressed up in lumberjack shirts. Nerds have always been the driving force in tech
- because they are young, thin, and look good in shabby clothing with attractive accessories.
