My grievance with this article was glossed over in one paragraph:

"In real life, there are a million ways to be nonconformist. You can be goth; you can be preppy; you can be grunge... "The brain is more complex than the model I looked at, and of course hipsters are more complex," he said."

Yes, there are a lot of ways to not be a thing. That's kind of important to note when you're making sweeping generalizations about a group of people who aren't like you. The title of this article is completely bogus.

Are you saying all "nonconformists" are "hipsters"? If not, "hipster" must be an identifiable category of non-random nonconformist appearance, hence the title of the article.

"Hipsters all look alike because we have defined hipster as people having a specific look."
