Hipster Barista first showed up as early as 2011. The heyday of society taking a dump on hipsters, years before everyone became one.

After going viral, Eater.com interviewed him about his thoughts on becoming a popular meme.

“I do find it discouraging and disappointing that there was so much exposure brought to an attempt at making a joke of a culinary industry and the professional barista. To me, it’s very telling on how we laud farm-to-table food, craft beer, cocktail mixology, but it’s ok to have no respect for the specialty coffee world and the people who are committed to it.”

Which honestly sounds like some shit a hipster would say.
