Chabad hipsters (or hipster Hasidim) are the cross-acculturated members of the Chabad Hasidic community and contemporary hipster subculture. Beginning from the late 2000s through the 2010s, a minor trend of cross acculturation of Chabad Hasidism and hipster subculture appeared within the New York Jewish community. According to ''The Jewish Daily Forward'', a significant number of members of the Chabad Hasidic community, mostly residing Crown Heights, Brooklyn, appear to now have adopted various cultural affinities as the local hipster subculture.〔Greenfield, Nicole. (."Birth of Hipster Hasidism?" ) ''Religion Dispatches''. University of Southern Carolina. February 2, 2012〕〔Nussbaum-Cohen, Debra. ("Of Hasids, Hipsters, and Hipster Hasids." ) ''The Jewish Daily Forward''. January 26, 2012.〕 ==Background== Cultural similarities between some of the Hasidic community's members and New York City hipsters were noted on blogs such as ''(Hasid or Hipster )'' (inspired in part by the art of Elke Reva Sudin).〔 According to ''The Jewish Daily Forward'', a number of members of the Crown Heights Chabad community, all while adhering to the norms of Orthodox dress codes, have incorporated contemporary fashion as a part of their daily appearance. Similarly, the ''New York Times'' noted that some New York hipsters appeared to be appropriating local Chabad Hasidic fashion by wearing black fedora hats. Some hipsters reported purchasing their headwear from Hasidic shops in Brooklyn.〔("Culture-Hopping in a Fedora." ) Fashion and Style. ''New York Times''. April 29, 2011.〕〔("Hipsters Embrace Hasidic Headwear." ''Hat Life''. Volume 6, Newsletter 10. May 11, 2011. )〕 Closely associated with the adoption of the "black hat," the preference for long skirts by female hipsters in New York are believed to be partly inspired by the fashion of Hasidic women.〔Tracy, Marc. ("Chabad chic." ) ''Tablet Magazine''. May 3, 2011.〕 Chabad fashion designers Mimi Hecht and Mushky Notik who started their (Mimu Maxi ) brand in the summer of 2013, originally with the Hasidic female community in mind, but soon the brand had gained a broader, loyal following. The pair has been referred to as "Hasidic Hipsters" on social media, and they have responded positively to that label.〔Basu, Tanya. "How the Internet Made Modest Fashion Cool." ''The Atlantic''. February 27, 2015.〕 One Crown Heights resident established an eatery called "Hasid+Hipster." The eatery serves artisanal dishes while adhering to the laws of Kashrut. The owner, Yuda Schlass, told ''The New York Jewish Week'' "Me, myself, as much as I’m chasidic, I’m also hipster."〔Chernikoff, Helen. ("Hipster And/Or Chasid? Grab lunch or dinner at Brooklyn’s latest chic kosher food venture." ) The Big Apple. ''The Jewish Week''. January 28, 2014.〕〔〔Sharp, Sonja. ("Kosher Pop Up Serves Artisanal Sandwiches to Crown Heights Crowd." ) ''DNAinfo.com''. December 6, 2013.〕〔("Crown Heights Pop Up Offers Kosher Bacon Sandwiches." ) ''CrownHeights.info''. December 9, 2013.〕 "Mason and Mug," a similarly styled "kosher-artisanal" restaurant was established in Crown Heights/Prospect Heights.〔〔("Hassid+Hipster Brings Foodie Kosher Pop-Up To Crown Heights." ) ''JSpaceFood''. December 13, 2013.〕 Chabad hipster musicians, such as Moshe Hecht and DeScribe have fused Jewish themes and contemporary music styles and genres.〔Elstein Keisler, Max. ("Monday Music: Orthodox Hipster Hip-Hop at CMJ." ) The Jewish Daily Forward''.〕 Similarly, the band Zusha, often described as Hasidic hipsters, mixes contemporary musical styles like folk, jazz, and reggae with the wordless vocals of traditional Hasidic songs (known as ''niggunim''). The group cites as a spiritual advisor Rabbi Dov Yonah Korn of New York City's East Village Chabad House.〔("hasidic hipster band zusha hopes to bring people all faiths closer to god." ) ''Fox News''.
