Hipsters are absolutely not hippies. Hipsters are still extant today, whereas hippies were mostly a 60s or 70s phenomenon. There is also a 1940s definition of hipster, but that's entirely different than the hipster we know today.

well, we still call them that today. Flowery shirts are still all the rage...

besides, it's not hipsters, but "pretend hipsters"...

>I definitely didn't have hippies in mind when I wrote the sentence. They're entirely different people.

What you had in mind is irrelevant. A sentence has its own existence...
I created the variant anyway. Whjat you wanted to mean, is "bobo" in French.

your link relates to hipsters, not "pretend hipsters", surely they're different...

sacredceltic sacredceltic April 17, 2011 April 17, 2011 at 1:05:32 AM UTC flag Report link Permalink

well, my Collins dictionary also states that hipsters are "hippies" so that makes 2 references in that direction, when we are still awaiting for any reference to the contrary...How many more shall I find? And how many will you produce and when?

and what word would you pick for the german translation?

sacredceltic sacredceltic April 17, 2011 April 17, 2011 at 9:37:40 AM UTC flag Report link Permalink

>Möchtegern-Hipster

It's called anglophilia...Can't Germans coin their own new words ?

This sentence was initially added as a translation of sentence #841246The neighborhood has been gentrified. Now it's teeming with pretend hipsters slurping skinny lattes at Starbucks. They gather round coffee and free Wi-Fi like bees round a honeypot..

Le voisinage s'est embourgeoisé. Désormais, ça grouille de pseudo-hippies qui sucent des latte écrémés au Starbucks. Ils s'agglutinent autour du café et du WiFi gratuit comme des abeilles autour d'un pot de miel.
