Firstly, learn to ask questions more clearly, you've moulded three questions into one there and I don't know where to start answering, however I'll do my best.

"And all the runs, Kinkladze makes are blinding..." Noel and Liam supported Man City before it was 'cool.' Before Aguero, there was Shaun Goater. |
The Football Hipster is a new being, an individual who has stood up to the recent trends in the game such as mocking David Moyes, or players falling over advertising boards and said; "That's not that funny." A fan who doesn't fling morale damaging, alcohol fuelled insults at referees and linesmen, instead he stays calm, hipster-buttocks on seat, and says something witty like: "Are we not playing fouls, today?"
The Football Hipster uttered the sentence 'Luke Shaw is England's next left-back', before it was cool.
He knows how important Scholes, Giggs, Beckham, Keane, Yorke and Cole were in Manchester United's 1998/99 treble winning season, but instead appreciates the defensive work of Jaap Stam, Dennis Irwin and Ronny Johnsen.
A fifty pound-plus, 2013/2014 replica club shirt does not hang on the Football Hipster's back, he does not bare the name 'Ozil, 11' across his shoulder blades and down his spine, nor does he sport 'Gerrard, 8', instead his Arsenal shirt carries the three letters 'JVC' on the front and 'Kanu, 25' on the back,' his Liverpool top was manufactured by Reebok, and is blessed still by Gerrard, but the shirt number? Number 17, which Football Hipsters know was the number given to Gerrard after he emerged as a like-for-like replacement for the former Liverpool number 17, Paul Ince, in the late nineties.

Henry is too mainstream, Kanu is a man so hip he wore the number 4 shirt when playing centre forward for his native Nigeria, where he is rightly regarded as a legend. |
Where is the Football Hipster? He could be anywhere. In any Premier League, Football League, Skrill Premier/North/South, Isthmian ground come 3pm on a Saturday, he could be nestled, legs inside skinny jeans, in any pub, club or bar later that same evening.
But the 'Jazzmuziker Fußball' (German for Football Hipster), is not someone that should be discriminated, he is the new breed of football fan pedigree, and although his jeans may not cover his ankles up, his passion for football covers all shapes and sizes of the game, and for that, the world of football should allow the Football Hipster to prosper.
I hope this has been an education, yours sincerely,
Greg Stanley, self proclaimed 'Football Hipster.'
