LOL I just heard that song recently on the radio. For the longest time, I thought Sean Paul was from Toronto because he did work with several Toronto artist before he became really famous.
I swore hipsters were those people that cried about all the "starving children in Africa" yet weren't able to live without the latest iphone with no thought for the cobalt mined by those children.
People that adopt vintage dress tendencies and end up all linking the same thinking they're somehow individual. People that moan about the establishment (the system) and don't even bother to vote.
Natalia Lafourcade is someone who immerses herself, studies and sings or takes influence from a past, critically acclaimed genre of music. That's being alternative not "hipster". This has been going on long before the word hipster was even invented. There's a distinction.

I see your point, but these musicians have adopted many of these Hipster tendencies. I don't really subscribe to that negative meaning of Hipster. I think it is more a sub-culture of people interested in music, intellectualism, progressiveness. I like living in areas designated as hipster areas, they usually have alot of interesting things going on and you feel a highly creative vibe.
Recently, I think the term has become more negative because when sub-cultures become popular culture, they grow in popularity and start losing their originality and meaning. You have more people joining for superficial reasons. A prime example is the Coachella festival in the US. Lots of fake 'hippies' who aren't really interested in the music, but just want to be there to be seen.
The term alternative still exists, but it seems to be dying off a bit.
