$CURRENT_YEAR and people are still making fun of hipsters?
Well, yeah, some things never go out of style.
I mean the parent comment isn't wrong. Any trend based around exclusivity is bound to lose when the exclusivity inevitably spreads. Companies have to go way upscale to be able to afford to go super exclusive and you can only really do this with privately held companies. Hipsters are just one form of trend setters,I wonder if there's a chart somewhere that tracks different types of influencers and the markets that they influence. It seems like something someone would have spent money on making because of its inherent usefulness in sales and marketing.
