Make fun of hipsters all you like, heck it's not hard. But that won't change the fact that hipsters, a cultural group like any other, control a big chunk of the tech world, especially in Berlin. Meaning that you flippantly ignore their cultural preferences at your own peril.

I have no idea who the hipsters are. An Anglosphere subculture?
Nothing Anglosphere about hipsterism. Plenty of that from Southern Europe and East Asia. A typical member is youngish (born early 1980 and forward), secular, educated in tech, media, the arts, sometimes (social) science, left-leaning, with an urban and transnational worldview. I think honestly it's more of a social and economic class than a subculture. It's a new word for "intelligentsia".
