Anti-establishment, environmental, communal, spiritually, as opposed to monetarially driven. The similarities are astounding, now that I think about it more.

A lot of people thought society, as it was known, was coming to an end because kids (lazy hipsters) didn't seem interested in careers or other traditional things that drove society.

But a funny thing happened on the way to the commune... as we age, our priorities change.
Different environment altogether. Less career opportunities and less affordable housing means more people choosing to not have kids and live in places where they don't need cars. The data from Seattle for instance seems to be confirming that.
