You have to give the trend a name so you can refer to it after it becomes boring itself.

The trend has been named for at least a decade.

Oh, I see what you did there.

The point is that the word "hipster" has been in continuous use to describe alternative youth culture since the Beats.

As wikipedia explains, the term has been used to describe the culture of 2 distinct decades, not the decades in between

Where does Wikipedia say that it wasn't used in the intervening decades? That's not true. Look at the ngram link I supplied – it clearly was in use. What do you think it meant?

I think it’s just called fashion.

That hipster bullshit is getting tired. The stereotypes are stupid and it all comes down to berating people for what they wear – for whatever stupid reason. Why would that ever be cool?

All I see is lots of young people who know how to dress fashionable.
