ABOUT HIPSTERS. 

The hipster subculture is stereotypically composed of youth who reside primarily in gentrifying neighborhoods.[1][2] It is broadly associated with indie and alternative music, a varied non-mainstream fashion sensibility, vintage and thrift store-bought clothing, generally progressive political views, organic and artisanal foods, alternative lifestyles and snobbery.[3][4][5][6][7][8] The subculture typically consists of white millennials living in urban areas.[9][10] It has been described as a "mutating, trans-Atlantic melting pot of styles, tastes and behavior".[11]

Shockwaves are reverberating around Spanish and world football in the wake of a kiss during the medal awards ceremony at the Women's World Cup. Spanish football federation president Luis Rubiales shocked global television audiences when he grabbed Spanish forward Jenni Hermoso's head and firmly kissed her on the lips. Rubiales has refused to resign, despite many calls for him to do so. Ms Hermoso said: "I believe no person, in any work, sport or social setting should be a victim of this type of non-consensual behaviour. I felt vulnerable and a victim of an impulse-driven, sexist, out-of-place act, without any consent on my part." She added: "Quite simply, I was not respected." Mr Rubiales maintains he did nothing wrong. He said the kiss was simply a spur-of-the-moment reaction due to being caught up in the emotion ...

Deafness is another disability that affects people’s ability to hear sounds, requiring them to communicate through sign language or lip reading. Mobility impairments restrict a person’s ability to move freely and often necessitate the use of mobility aids like wheelchairs.
