Using the programme Kizoa, I created a short, research-filled slideshow of images that are associated with the hipster genre and community of music.

Hipster is known in the media as a contemporary subculture, that consists of urban middle class teenagers and young adults. This movement originated from the 1990's. This subculture is described to be independently driven with music expression, non-mainstream fashion style, liberal political views and opinions, spiritually alternative and has is strongly influenced by independent film and other cross-media devices over the years.
The genre has a reputation that is described by New York Times reporter, Christian Lorentzen: "hipsterism fetishizes the authentic" elements of all of the "fringe movements of the postwar era—beat, hippie, punk, even grunge."
