>>89534459>What is up with hipsters and Flannel? It started in the Northwest. Lots of rural and blue collar people wear flannel to keep warm and then sell it to thrift stores where hipsters would buy it for cheap and wear it ironically or as a way of saying, "I'm a wealthy urban/suburban kid with a non-blue collar job who dresses like a much more down to earth person. See how quirky I am!."
Hipsters nation wide started picking it up.
Similar deal with old Converse sneakers, trucker hats, big dorky glasses, old boots, and cheap shitty beer like Pabst Blue Ribbon and Lonestar.
