I have no idea who the hipsters are. An Anglosphere subculture?

Nothing Anglosphere about hipsterism. Plenty of that from Southern Europe and East Asia. A typical member is youngish (born early 1980 and forward), secular, educated in tech, media, the arts, sometimes (social) science, left-leaning, with an urban and transnational worldview. I think honestly it's more of a social and economic class than a subculture. It's a new word for "intelligentsia".
