Hipsters is approaching synonymous with young people at this point. If you're curious as to how young people in Detroit are making a living, I will give you some very concrete examples:
1. Me. I am the biz director of a fantastic startup.
2. My friends started a very popular band and play gigs profitably and organize parties.
3. Many people work in Quicken family of companies, many in real estate.
4. Many are web developers.
5. Some grow medicinal marijuana.
6. Several of my friends have started food trucks.
7. Many are servers or bartenders. I know a couple strippers too.
I could go on like this for a while. Though I know some young people who are on their parent's insurance or receive some help paying down their student loan debt, I know of very few people who live off CCs & their parents. They do exist, but they are very rare.
You forgot mustache, buying either extremely expensive things or extremely cheap things and generally preferring 'old-timey' things (VHS, vinyl) that have been surpassed.
It's not young people, it's young people with specific yet generic taste. Like goths. Only somehow lamer.
