Obviously the soulstrut definition of "hipster" is pretty wide open. You should be able to play to whatever crowd your signed on to play to, or I guess I dont know why you'd be playing. Am I right? Or is this just a way to make fun of those "hipsters" again. Hipsters tend to like dj's who are atleast seemingly competent/confident- so if you can slay it with the boom-bap then go ahead. In my experiences rap of all kinds played well will be perfect hipster fodder. I say if you really need advice then just play a bunch of electro-ish rap joints. But like I said earlier I don't think you really want an answer, you'd rather make fun of the people you think you have to dj for and what they may or may not like. Said it before, say it again- if you know what a hipster is, your probably not to far off yourself...

a hipster is the replacement to the soulstrut whipping boy of choice...the backpacker.
you mean they're not one and the same??
They're completely different: the hipster dabbles superficially in a bunch of different things; the backpacker focuses obsessively on an extremely narrow range of things.
Not saying one is better/worse than the other, just saying.
backpacker is one of the all time greatest nicknames/stereotypes/classifications. basically harmless, but so on point. if you were walking around an east coast city with a backpack that didn't have any books in it, chances were pretty high that you knew every artist signed to Rawkus.
backpackers carried backpacks so they could keep paint cans and CDs they sold in them. that was the origonal notion at least. Seems kinda positive to me. Independent music hustlers and Hip hop culture contributors.
If your not perfect you should not contribute though?

Befroe the term was around the more adventurous cats were rocking expedition backpacks. Way before there was a Rawkus.
Then the second wave continued wore it as a symbol of "keepin it real". Which was str8 silliness

we are definitely conflating W-Burg Hipsters with just random white girls at this point.
When sarcasm goes horribly awry.

I remember when Backpacking was acceptable.

this is kind of true, only kind of, as there are exceptions and crossovers to both camps, duh
this is why (even though it may not be apparent in this post) i'm not hating on the so-called hipsters. They got girls at the parties!
AND I WANT THEM TO DANCE!

Maybe I am at the wrong hispter parties, but the amount of ugly girls at hipster events FAAAR outweighs the good looking ones.
these are the wrong parties...but still
