Hipsters redefined by young Muslim women. We like it.

Hipsters; those cool looking cats, who hang around the inner city suburbs of (mostly) Melbourne, radiating sarcasm and cutting a swathe through the less stylish.

These types are most likely to be white and middle class. They epitomise the post modern aesthetic. And they think know that they’re just that much cooler than you.

But, all that is about to change.

Enter the new breed of hipsters.  The Mipsterz or Muslim Hipster, is small group, challenging the definition of what it means to be a hipster.

And, the movement is growing, its even got it’s own Facebook page. There you can find a collection of articles explaining what it’s like to be a Muslim hipster as well as tips on what to use as your inspiration.

We think the latest offering on the site is brilliant. It features a bunch of young Muslim women, chilling to Jay-Z’s somewhere in America. These girls ride skateboards, drink milkshakes and hang out at the park. They wear high heels, the latest fashion and eat ice cream.

Just regular kids enjoying New York City, which incidentally is where this whole hipster thing started.

The best bit about the video, is that it challenges stereotypical perceptions of young Muslim women.  And, that’s got to be a good thing.
