From The (world famous for being the only good music writing resource†) Quietus:
We say first visibly, as of course Sioux was one of the Sex Pistols’ entourage who rocked up on Bill Grundy’s Today programme and was the source of the “dirty fucker”’s lusty comments. But this is the problem with laying into so-called hipsters. If Sioux ended her teens as a hipster, she started her adulthood as one of the best rock stars of the late 70s, the80s and beyond.In most cases the accusation of hipsterism smacks of jealousy and a tiresome obsession with authenticity or has come from a quasi-self aware ‘hipster’ journalist.
Every generation plays dress up. Though the recovery from the cyclical ironic self-awareness of the punk, or in our time hipster, culture would surely be a valuable process. Unless you never recovered and ended up doing butter advertisements. Still, you’d be in good company.
