Why does it seem like everybody wants to be "hipster" lately?

[Catherine L]

You don't have to read this all the way through, it's just a little more of an explanation of my annoyance and confusion.

It's been this way for awhile now, but lately it's come to an extremely large fad... about 3/4 of the girls I know are obsessed with being 'hipster'. Not the regular kind of hipster, but this new weird annoying tumblr/instagram/twitter faux hipster. One of the many signs are those big framed glasses, lots of them wear those even when they have the most perfect vision. It's getting exceedingly annoying, because the 'hipsters' and ruining a lot of the things that regular people like. Like cats for example. I mean what?! There's some big thing about being obsessed with your cat. Stores are making shirts with cats on them, my friend (who is very into all of the 'hipster' craze) recently bought a skirt with a bunch of cats on it and, dare I add, she doesn't even own a cat.
I just don't get it. Supposedly in today's generation, it's 'cool' to be 'hipster. I thought real hipsters didn't care about all that. I can't exactly explain it, so can somebody please explain it for me?
