Featured on Tumblr blog Under the Sea, the Hipster Little Mermaid depicts the [Disney sea creature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shells-jewel-collection) with a scowl on her face and quintessential [hipster glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/main-character-hair) on her peepers. Hipster Little Mermaid captures what it means to be a hipster by shunning conventions and mainstream ways of thinking. Hipster Little Mermaid is always on the vanguard of what's cool in a hyperbolic manner (e.g. "I listen to bands...that don't even exist yet") and constantly expressing her anti-establishment attitudes, even within the hipster movement itself (e.g. "Williamsburg? GTFO. Park Slope"). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Hipsterfication:** As hipster culture continues to rise, there is an opportunity for businesses to create niche products and services that cater to this demographic. - **Iconic Character Subversion:** By subverting iconic characters, businesses can create fresh and humorous takes that generate interest and possibly expand existing consumer demographics. - **Humorous Twists:** The use of humor in re-imagining beloved characters or stories can attract a younger and new audience and potentially revive interest in classic concepts. ### Where This Applies - **Entertainment:** In the realm of entertainment, there is an opportunity to create new subversive content based on classic stories and characters, appealing to younger and more diverse audiences. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can create hipster-inspired products that align with the hipster culture aesthetic and cater to their specific fashion needs. - **Merchandise:** Companies can create humorous takes on classic merchandise, like hipster Little Mermaid shirts, to expand their customer base and tap into current trends. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mermaid Fashion Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mermaid-high-fashion-dolls.md) - [Mermaid-Inspired Beach Houses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/under-the-sea-stay.md) - [Live-Action Mermaid Film Haircare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-little-mermaid-1.md) - [Film-Themed Retailer Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/target-x-disney-the-little-mermaid-collection.md) - [Aquatic Cosmetic Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-the-little-mermaid-collection.md) - [Underwater-Created Whimsical Handbags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ariel-swipe.md) - [Iridescent Smoothie Toppings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tropical-smoothie-cafe-mermaid-style.md) - [Color-Changing Mermaid Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mermaid-doll.md) - [Promotional Film Food Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/annies-homegrown-x-the-little-mermaid.md)
