The 2000s have been the decade of plenty of things, hipsters included. Paste undertakes a study of their evolution, from 2000 to the present:
- 2000: The Emo. “Proto-hipster” finds guyliner and a white belt a “soulful combination.”
- 2001: The Emo Redux. You’ll see a theme in this one’s clothing—skulls, say—but not closely matched enough that it looks as though she’s really trying.
- 2002: The Ashton. Oh, the irony of a PBR trucker hat and faux-vintage tee.
