It really is. The basic hipsterization cycle goes like this:
1. Humans suffer with crappy situation due to lack of technology for years. (In this case, water-borne illnesses that killed most humans for our first X years as a species, where X is like 1925 - whenever humans first came on the scene).
2. Humans invent technology that makes life better and stop suffering from crappy situation entirely.
3. Hipsters think crappy situation was probably kinda awesome and elect to go back to it. Before 2020, anti-vaxxers were largely hipsters. Unpasteurized milk is a good current example too.
This feels like the ultimate hipster cocktail phenomenon.
