Hipsters in a heatwave?

"CAPE TOWN. As temperatures soar in the Western Cape, Cape Town’s hipsters are struggling to keep cool in a “post-cool” world.

“Obviously we’re sweating ironically” said Josh Trustfund, flicking his asymmetrical fringe. “We’re just not sure whether to embrace sweat as a creative expression of ‘post-cool’, or to shun it as too mainstream” he added. “I mean, we were sweating long before it was popular.”

Yoga teacher Fey Downward-Dogg explained that hipsters are particularly well designed to deal with extreme heat, having no more than 2 percent body fat. But, she said, due to their extreme levels of self-awareness, the average hipster will often not move for hours on end."

"Further reading of the hipster commentary will see some gross inconsistencies emerge. For some critics, hipsters are all about the latest trend, whereas others argue vintage and kitsch are more highly valued. [...] Hipsters are simultaneously mocked for both insisting on individualism and adhering to conventions. Overall, the varying media definitions of hipsters inevitably oversimplify what is actually quite a complex and significant cultural happening."
