A 21st century phenomenon that exemplifies this sense of superiority is the increase of hipsters – people who only do things that are not considered mainstream, ranging from solely shopping at vintage and thrift shops to solely eating organic and vegan foods, not because they truly want to, but just for the sake of being viewed as more unique than the…
