CultureTrendy Hipster
> Like “The Shelter Guy” of Shanghai, our urban hipsters of the US are street smart, stylish, in the know about underground and indie music, beer, night life and more.
> This subculture likes small bars, sometimes small and local, where it is not too crowded and where they can hear new bands. Wide variety of beer on tap is a must.
> Tied in with this group are the bikers. These people live in the downtown areas of their cities and commute by subway, bike or both. They are trendy, usually rolling one pant leg and wear messenger bags. Sometimes caught wearing beenies, plaid, cut off jean shorts that are tight and short. Long hair is a must.
