Hipster Subculture in Czech Republic

The subject of the thesis Hipster Subculture in Czech Republic is to chart contemporary urban culture. The first part defines the subculture concept itself and handles especially the postmodern approaches. The second, core, part prospects origins of the hipster subculture and defines its era. It subsequently describes a hipster based on various topics associated with the subculture identification (age and gender, appearance, taste in music, education, profession and economical situation, interests, residency, life attitudes and stances and subcultural identity). Hipster subculture confrontation with both negative and positive criticism in mass society follows in this study. The theoretical part of the report is based not only on the previous expert study in the field but also panel discussions, American society survey results as well as journalistic style essays. Finally, the third part, containing semi­structured interview research, should validate and specify the data gained from previous chapters and also fit the hipster subculture into the Czech environment. The thesis aims to construct the definition of a hipster and answer the introduced research topics
