Oh, To Be Hip

I've been struggling with the concept of post-modernism, and the question keeps popping up- are hipsters truely apathetic? Because in my mind, although hipsters are far from perfect (upon observing any mass of hipsters one can see that they all look the same- far from anti-Blob), yet they seem so much better than the general American-mentality public...
And of course, this is going off of the definition of post-modernism being a word to describe the new, "hip," twenty-something generation that sees the irony in everything including themselves, and over-uses quotation marks in daily speech and --here's where the apathy comes in-- is aware of and has thought about the utter ridiculousness of everything so much that they have been driven to a perpetual life of the shrug and "whatevs."
But I still wouldn't say I think they're completely apathetic. (I mean, I consider myself much more of a hipster than any other catergory (? and I guess the whole categorizing people is another case of Blob-ism, but we'll let this pass for now) and I consider myself far from apathetic.))

SO. Here's the best I could come up with to explain the question of Hipster Apathy:

If hipsters were actually apathetic, this would mean a scenario where one is a hipster up until the point where they realize that they are one, and at this moment the classification would simply disappear into this air.
Making it kind of like The Game.
...And I just lost.

I think it gets pretty complicated- to where there are categories of "the hip", being those who are truly hip and those who are only surface hip... GAAAHHHH. I will revisit this later.
