There was much discourse on X last week regarding the false, persistent idea that hipsters listened to stomp-clap bands like the Lumineers and Mumford & Sons, which spiraled into a discussion about what hipsters even were.
It was all very relevant to my book, so I tried to provide some context...

Unsurprisingly, this is very good:
"Stomp-clap might have coincided with the death of hipster culture; maybe it was even the final nail in the coffin. But arguably the last thing hipsters ever did before going extinct was to resoundingly reject that shit. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise."
Well said.
I looked into the supposed Angine de Poitrine imposters touring Russia, which didn’t sound quite right
