The point is that the word "hipster" has been in continuous use to describe alternative youth culture since the Beats.

dear dude in the middle wearing the echo nest t-shirt -- WHO ARE YOU, we'll send you a later edition

(offtopic): I can attest that the current echonest t-shirts are the best startup shirts I've ever seen. Wear mine with some frequency.

Who's door do I have to beat down to get one?

Two things: 1) Cool concept! (would feel more natural with sound). 2) Wow, I've been living in Asia for about two years and didn't realize facial hair was trendy now! Or is that a NY thing only?

Pretty much makes it impossible to add or remove people from the Team.

Sixth person from the right seems to be talking alone. Maybe the person he is talking to got fired and was edited out of the video? :)

They may not want to give names of everyone because it makes poaching employees by headhunters easier.

All the names are provided in text at the bottom of the page.

Ah, thanks. I was building on OP's comment. My browser crashed from the page so I couldn't check on my own.

As wikipedia explains, the term has been used to describe the culture of 2 distinct decades, not the decades in between

Where does Wikipedia say that it wasn't used in the intervening decades? That's not true. Look at the ngram link I supplied – it clearly was in use. What do you think it meant?

It crashed my browser :( Firefox 16.0.1 on Ubuntu. My CPU went up to 100%, and stayed there for a minute until I just killed the process.

I've filed a bug regarding this : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=806311 Feel free to add your system information on that bug or describe what you faced or any other constructive input possible there. You can also CC yourself to follow along the progress.

Btw I tried this in the latest Firefox nightly and it seems that the nightly doesn't crash although the CPU usage does go up to 50%, so it seems that this bug has been fixed and will be released in the upcoming stable releases.
