The Hipster Cop meme features an image of a real-life London police officer who gained viral fame during a 2015 protest for his remarkably well-groomed beard and stylish attire. Netizens immediately branded him the 'Hipster Cop,' transforming the photo into a meme that parodies hipster subculture and the clash between authority and fashion. The meme typically uses captions where the officer performs standard duties but with a pretentious, ironic, or artisanal twist—most famously claiming to have arrested someone 'before they were cool.' It serves as a humorous commentary on the intersection of traditional policing and modern urban trends.
