Hipster Kitty is a classic Advice Animal that features a bespectacled feline wearing a scarf, looking unimpressed with mainstream culture. Originating on Tumblr around 2009, the meme is used to parody the hipster subculture, specifically the elitist attitude of 'liking things before they were cool.' The captions typically involve obscure indie bands, vintage fashion, or artisanal trends that the cat finds superior to popular choices. As one of the early pillars of meme culture, Hipster Kitty remains the go-to template for poking fun at pretentiousness and the constant search for the next underground trend.
