Why does the UK have a lot of hipsters?

France has more. The question should be, why does the UK have a lot of chavs.

London has been leading global fashion and style trends since at least the 1960s. Today's hipsters are just the grandchildren of Swinging Sixties mods or 80s punks

These are men with 'vintage' clothes and stubbly beards and strange footwear...

We probably did not automatically identify them as 'hipsters', and beat up on them.

We have a 'care in the community' system which means a lot of other people in our parks and bus stops look like that.

I believe a lot of them live in inner East London in places like Shoreditch. I live in Surrey and Shropshire and have never seen a hipster

Yes. We have always had arty and creative subcultures: London, Brighton, Manchester and Bristol have plenty of hipsters.

No hipsters in the Westcountry.

Hmm I'm not sure, maybe it has to do with the 60's

NO
