that's absolutely not true. switching to a flip phone is definitely a hipster thing. just like switching to a film camera.
anything impractical that they think makes them cool.
basically what defines a hipster is pride. there are valid reasons to use film cameras and flip phones. but when you start gloating and thinking it makes you cool... you fit the bill. in reality, smart phones and digital cameras are more practical in most cases.
edit: other examples include typewriters and penny farthings. again, there are valid reasons to use them. but if you make it part of your identity and brag about how much better than other people it makes you, you're probably an asshole.
All hipsters have cell phones.

We need a term for a hipster who got rid of his smartphone before it was cool… 😂
