As with just about everything, the original hipsters of the trucker hats were non-conformist. There was a certain risk of ridicule they were taking for being hipsters in, what, 1998? Now, however, there&#x27;s absolutely no risk to being a hipster. It&#x27;s not a counter cultural movement, they&#x27;re not objecting to anything worth objecting to, and they&#x27;re not going out on any kind of limb. At this point it&#x27;s just a kind of lame, conformism wishing that it weren&#x27;t.
