I don't really know, but in my experince and opinion, hipsters are those that live in gentrifying neighbourhoods, wear bohemian and often times retro (late 70s thru' the 80s) clothing, listen to alternative and indie music etc. The new residents of Williamsburg (Brooklyn) symbolize the 'hipster' to me.

All those LSD and bath salt sniffing 48 hour raves in Goa are full of them

They call it Mkat (Meow) nowadays.


Bombay's Bandra, and parts of Juhu and Versova are totally hipster in its true contemporary definition IMO.

The whole of South Asia is HIP in itself... The colors and diversity found here are unlike anywhere in the world...

Same, I believe the problem here is the rise in middle class, with the rise, more and more are purchasing cars cause they can. However I'm positive that in a few years time when the elevated expressway and metros are completed, we will see less cars.

Do Muslims in BD also celebrate Holi and take part in Rangola competition like this ?

 

[scholseys]

This is not hipster, its stupid shabagi bohemian crap. Bangladesh is a muslim nation, may we never get any raving scene. You have to be quite messed up in the head to go to a rave.

Hipster means a person who follows latest trends in the world so I guess Colombo or Goa could be the most hipster-like city in South Asia as they are the most liberal ones or am I wrong? Isn't Bangladesh conservative?

Still fretting over the fact that I requested you and your ilk not to post photos that I took/belong to me? I wasn't trying to start something there, nitwit, just saying that what you think is "hipster" isn't really what it is. You're a moron who takes himself too seriously

The hipster subculture typically consists of white millennials living in urban areas.The subculture has been described as a "mutating, trans-Atlantic melting pot of styles, tastes and behavior and is broadly associated with indie and alternative music, a varied non-mainstream fashion sensibility (including vintage and thrift store-bought clothes), generally progressive political views, organic and artisanal foods, and alternative lifestyles. Hipsters are typically described as affluent or middle class young Bohemians who reside in gentrifying neighborhoods

Also, You'd think the definition below is more apt for what the OP is going for in this thread

The word hipster is often used as a pejorative to describe someone who is pretentious, Overly trendy or effete. Some analysts contend that the notion of the contemporary hipster is actually a myth created by marketing

Goa has nothing on places like Bombay, Delhi (Though very pretentious) and Colombo.. Goa is a outdated out post of the 70's made famous by hippies not exactly hipsters for it's drug/acid filled raves, Nowadays it's just a transit point for day drugs Russian mafia, Nigerians and a few dreadlocked Israeli's.. South West Coast of Sri Lanka is the red hot place to be now, With it's boutique villas and If you have money, Alternative lifestyle

But as far as the general definition of being hip goes.. Nothing comes close to Bombay in the region
