CULTURA SUBTERRANEA. Hipsters Los hipsters son una subcultura de mujeres y hombres que están típicamente entre los 20 y 30 años y se caracterizan por tener un pensamiento independiente, se consideran contra la cultura normal, progresivos con la política y aprecian el arte, la buena música, la inteligencia, la creatividad y el cine independiente.
