HIPÓ is a Spanish slang term derived from the word "hipster." It refers to a person who adheres to a particular subculture characterized by non-mainstream fashion choices, alternative music tastes, and a distinct sense of non-conformity. HIPÓs often exhibit a preference for vintage or retro clothing, as well as accessories such as vintage eyeglasses, suspenders, and bow ties. Their hairstyles tend to be unusual or unique, with quirky cuts, vibrant colors, or even asymmetrical shapes. The hipster subculture is known for valuing independent thinking, creativity, and a rejection of mainstream trends.
HIPÓs are commonly associated with urban areas, particularly artistic or creative neighborhoods, where they can frequently be found in trendy coffee shops, vinyl record stores, or attending local indie music shows. They generally eschew popular or commercial culture in favor of more niche or underground movements, and they often pride themselves on keeping up with the latest obscure bands, independent movies, or offbeat fashion styles. While some consider HIPÓs to be pretentious or overly focused on appearances, others appreciate their unique sense of style and their contribution to alternative subcultures.
