Stop calling everybody hipsters. Some of them are really just dilettantes, and need to be called out.
Dilettante, a beautiful word lifted straight from the Italian dilettante, once meant someone who loved music and the arts, but in the 18th century it took on a negative vibe, meaning someone who dabbles in art or music in an amateurish way. The Random House definition puts it best:
a person who takes up an art, activity, or subject merely for amusement, esp. in a desultory or superficial way; dabbler.
As we saw with feckless, I love using uncommon words to insult people. And this one is so lovingly specific. When your friend decides to get a keyboard (UK: synth) and a drum machine and start a band, they’re not a hipster, they’re a dilettante.
Hipsters: we shouldn’t put that label on everyone
