Peter York's Hipster Handbook

- United by love for buying special/real things
- Making things in an artisanal way, Pale Ale
- Shoreditch London - Contemporary Art, clever developers, constant theme park based around hipster lifestyle 
- Post post-modern 
- Hipster is relative concept, defined by different people with different agendas
- Being a hipster involves removing yourself from social conforms
- "I'm outside of mass conformist shopping centre looks"
- Authentic - real? not fake?
- "If you have to ask what it means to be hip, you're not hip" 
"hipness is a way of resisting the mass society"
"the fake versus the authentic"
"the scientific versus the imaginary"

Relevant in order to help identify the audience for the hand made.
