Well that's the thing. Hipsters were originally supposed to be counter-culture and anti-mainstream but now are rather common. They've become just another major sub-culture just like hip-hoppers, punk rockers, potheads, and metalheads.

Flannel shirts still remind me of lumberjacks, though

I don't think women dying their hair blue, purple, pink or green is still anywhere near the norm. I don't see that often where I live, at least.
