Actually I'd prefer to think of Brooks as a hippie, as they actually had a reason to exist and made a huge impact on society. Hipsters simply do things other people have been doing for ages and think they're original. Wearing a scarf, riding a bike and wearing tight jeans doesn't make you a hipster, it makes you European, only Europeans don't act like attention whores by trying to actually make a fashion statement out of staying warm and living healthily.
