  3. Monaghan’s thesis • No, the hipsters are not revolutionary • “In many ways, if we get over our hang-ups, we will realize that they simply are us.  It is time to get over it and to get over our generation's interminable and counterproductive self-hatred.  Take a look in the mirror and say the following with me: ‘The kids are alright’.”

  4. Dave Monaghan’s ideas • “old-fashioned youthful bohemianism” • Nostalgia • Monaghan defines hipsters • Hipsters don’t believe in anything, but that doesn’t matter
