Why is this the default accusation against anything that trends?
Because the hipster culture, which has somewhat engulfed other niche cultures, at least in colloquial use and definition, tends to lead the way in social trends, especially when it is a retread of an older trend.
I was drinking Mules as pregame for floating the river way before I even heard the term hipster, but its renaissance as a popular summer beverage is undeniable.

Yes, the term "hipster" has generally taken over as a descriptive phrase for many youth subcultures. I get that. Although, especially around these parts, it tends to be used in a pejorative manner.

But as I said earlier, the recent surge in its popularity, at least in my experience, stemmed from its adoption by what would generally be referred to as the Yuppie or DINK crowd, which is pretty distinct from the hipster crowd.
