I think that's the biggest trend of the past 5 years (smaller cities taking a bigger slice of hipsterdom, even if it's still small), but it is obscured in OMG WHERE THE NEXT HIPSTER CITY.

I don't think it is flattening out - I think it is getting more saturated, avid and more graphic. When I watch "our"
hipsters in Vancouver it is pretty clear that they are getting bored with this fad so they are discovering new ways how to look even more "hip" (using the word hip in this case is somehow not even effective), but in the eyes of a normal person they are just getting more and more ridiculous.
