Hipster (2004-2011)
Scientifically known as "Hipsterous Americanus," the Hipster died this past October after a brief honeyed-scotch reign atop American Culture. Sources close to the Hipster noted that the creature had been seen wandering perplexed around myriad Occupy Movements throughout major U.S. cities. Rumors have yet to be confirmed that the creature was depressed and considered ending his own life after carousing at several dives without receiving a single compliment on his pork pie hat. Authorities working in conjunction with Detroit Medical Examiner's office have confirmed that lab tests have firmly established that the victim had recently worked alongside Snoop Dogg. In 2009, at the height of the movement, the victim's soundtrack A Strange Arrangement, came out of nowhere to prove itself a harmonic trip to a somehow-sincere nostalgia. Experts remain perplexed by the sudden downfall. Some esteemed scientists have spoken in soto voce about the centerfold photo of the victim wearing silk pajamas with pajama shorts instead of pants. Clamor for the victim's black-framed glasses immediately died when the lenses were discovered to be nothing but clear glass. Hipster is survived by close friends Nerd, Post-Ironic and Snarky.
