The joke really writes itself :D

But I’ll also allow that this might be one of the occasions where I’m too out of touch with German culture, it’s not as if I talk about hipsters with my German friends ;)

> Also I saw an ad in Dutch "hipster" where it meant panties or women's underwear?

> Low-rise is a style of clothing designed to sit low on, or below, the hips. The style can also be called lowcut, hipster, or hip-hugger.
