At the same time, it is doubtful that New Albany's anonymous troglodytes even grasp what a hipster is. Being out of touch sometimes has its saving graces.
Come to think of it, "hopster" isn't a pejorative at all. "Hopsterism," anyone?
Montauk’s Hipster Fatigue, by Jim Rutenberg (New York Times)
... In these parts, the image of the hipster is also a stand-in for a more deeply seated suspicion that the whole look provides cover for a more privileged crowd that is intent upon importing to your neighborhood higher real estate, food and drink prices — and a new attitude that says, “I’m richer than you, I’m hipper than you and, gosh darn it, some things are going to change around here.”
