Here's one for STW Towers, where they all seem to wear identikit hipster outfits...

Hipster whines at tech mag for using his pic to imply hipsters look the same, discovers pic was of an entirely different hipster

That guy's not a hipster, surely? He's just a student.

Hipsters have huge muscles, huge beards, shaved heads and lots of tats, don't they? My niece married one and all his mates looked the same.

Exactly... hipsters care about their appearance, that's kind of the whole point. The guy in the pic simply can't be bothered to shave or comb his hair. And has no fashion sense.

Now you’re quite certain that wasn’t the Scots rugby team?

You're not supposed to put a comma before AND.

Look up "Oxford comma". Its use is disputed though, see the second set of examples on this page https://www.grammarly.com/blog/what-is-the-oxford-comma-and-why-do-people-care-so-much-about-it/

Yeah, I deliberately picked up on an ambiguity that you clearly didn't intend but it does show how easy it is to misinterpret something.

I'm told that's the reason why lawyers never use commas in their letters.

Yeah. I once tried to read out a conveyancing note about part of the family farm. One sentence, with no punctuation, occupied one side of a sheet of A4!

Anyway, the subject of the OP's photo isn't a hipster, he's a scruff that's put a new shirt on 😜

Eh? That guy looks like Enrique Iglesias. Is there a new type of hipster out there that I’m not aware of?

Well, the old long-beardo, pipe-smoking hipsters have all but disappeared... maybe Enrique is the new icon for sweet smelling men.

If they didn't look the same, how could you tell they were hipsters?

Re. the guy in the photo - hipsterdom has been through quite a few phases. In 2006 the archetypal hipster would have been riding a brakeless fixed gear with NJS parts and wearing Chrome Industries/Swrve.

And I know you might think it's cool* to say the guy in the photo isn't a hipster, but lumberjack shirts, unkempt beards and beanies have all been part of the lexicon.

*"You call that a knife? Now *this* is a..blah"
