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.
You didn't say that earlier, but that would make more sense than what you did say, which was too regional to be a reasonable source of a national trend.
Either way, Yuppies don't set trends like hipsters. And DINKS don't even really describe a specific type of person, but rather a specific financial position. Do you really think there aren't a ton of DINK hipsters? I'd argue that's a huge portion of the DINK crowd.

Up here, those terms generally are interchangeable. Moreover, the fact that the drink surged in popularity up here before most other areas would support my assertion. This thread is even further evidence of that. And LOL at you saying that the NYC area is "too regional to be a reasonable source of a national trend". LOL. Think about what you just said.

Never said they did.

It's a moniker for a generalized subculture.

A ton? Probably not.

I wouldn't. But perhaps we're defining the term differently.
