# Elderly Hipster Videos Future Hipsters is a Look Back from the Year 2062 By Tushar Bharadia | Published 2012-02-12 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/social-media-hipsters References: [futurehipsters.tumblr](http://futurehipsters.tumblr.com/) & [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGi_r9xlvqE&feature=player_embedded) Future Hipsters is a hilarious take on what this generation will be like in the year 2062. Using jargon that seems common sense to most people between the ages of ten and 40, these elderly individuals sound completely natural discussing Twitter and Facebook. The video was created by the Toronto-based social media strategy agency Entrinsic, Sons and Daughters and Posterboy Edit in an effort to promote Social Media Week 2012.

It's eerie to see what people might be like 50 years from now, but at least the future will know who the pioneers were when it comes to social media. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Aging Hipsters:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop products and services that cater to the needs and preferences of aging hipsters, such as senior-friendly social media platforms or stylish retro-inspired fashion for seniors. - **Future Generations:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Anticipate the needs and behaviors of future generations by studying the evolving digital landscape and create forward-thinking strategies for marketing, advertising, and communication. - **Humor Marketing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of humor as an effective marketing strategy, as demonstrated by the success of the Future Hipsters video in promoting Social Media Week 2012. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative technology solutions that cater to the evolving needs and preferences of seniors, such as user-friendly social media platforms or smart devices designed for easy use by older adults. - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create fashionable and trendy clothing options for older adults, tapping into the growing market of senior hipsters who value style and self-expression. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Embrace humor as a powerful tool in marketing and advertising campaigns, targeting younger generations and appealing to their sense of humor and cultural references. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retrofuturism Streaming Headphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futureahead-headset.md) - [Retro Music Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-play.md) - [Digital Audio-Visual Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audiovisual-exhibition.md) - [Boomer-Focused Voter Advertisements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/groom-a-boomer.md) - [Nostalgic Music Discovery Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nostalgic-music-discovery-app.md) - [Lifestyle Commentary Stool Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hipstool-series.md) - [Gen Z-Centric Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shift-happens.md) - [Elderly Cannabis Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/im-high-right-now-campaign.md) - [Pro-Aging Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/give-us-the-finger.md)
