Today.

"One could say, exaggerating only slightly, that the hipster moment did 
not produce artists, but tattoo artists...It did not produce photographers, 
but snapshot and party photographers...It did not produce painters, but 
graphic designers. It did not yield a great literature, but it made good 
use of fonts. And hipsterism did not make an avant-garde; it made 
communities of early adopters."
