Hipster (1940s subculture)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Hipster, as used in the 1940s, referred to aficionados of jazz, in particular Bebop, which became popular in the early 1940s. The hipster adopted the lifestyle of the jazz musician, including some or all of the following: dress, slang, use of cannabis and other drugs, relaxed attitude, sarcastic humor, self-imposed poverty, and relaxed sexual codes.
