kids today think of us aging "hippies" or some such...maybe they think we all ran around wearing bandannas and singing "Kumbaya."

Some recent songs mention hipsters.

Check the Wikipedia on hipster. "Became particularly prominent in the 2010s"

This was the photo she put up on Facebook on Mother's Day this year (after she cropped out her two siblings sitting there!). She told me that my middle granddaughter had seen it and said "Grandma was a hipster!"
