Old People Vs. Hipsters
We recently came across this photo:
It cast a new light on a meme we’ve been contemplating, “Hipsters vs. Old People,” that’s been making the rounds on the Internet for at least a couple of years. While the meme is funny, we were in two minds:
Is it ageist?
Is it Hipsterish?
At the risk of offending everyone, we decided to share the meme and let you weigh in.
We like to think hipsters are emulating seniors – how about you?

There’s a difference? I thought the term “hipster” was just another word for an old person. I mean I thought hipsters were old people. I didn’t realize they were two different things.
I think the bottom line is that older people have to be more visible in more ways. That’s part of why I started a You Tube channel. Plus making connections and supporting each other as we age is sooo important. Check out the YouTube channel and subscribe: Boomers Reaching Out.
Funny! Also love Judi’s comment and quotes! When old people were young, they thought they were hip, and old people, not. So today’s young people are called hipsters? Same difference. Nothing changes!
It’s about having aging adults as role models!
