How is macOS hipster? Apple products are so damn popular.

Apple’s core ethos is “be hip and trendy.” They make electronics to be seen with, style before substance. That’s 200% hipster shit.

Hmm idk man, anything that has ads playing everywhere 24/7 is not hipster, hipster is unknown, but stylish etc. Hipster is more trendsetter and macOS is not a trendsetter, it’s just a trend at this point. Anything pop by definition is not hipster.

To give a pithy example: macOS is to tech hipsters what hot topic is to goth hipsters

You’re giving hipsters way more credit for originality than they have earned.
