Q. How did the hipster wind up in the emergency room?

A. He fired his 3D-printed gun before it was cool. )

Not sure what you're getting at with cowboys, for me the intersection with SV is/was Gibson's console cowboy — "In the bars [Case had] frequented as a cowboy hotshot, the elite stance involved a certain relaxed contempt for the flesh. The body was meat. Case fell into the prison of his own flesh."

What is the opposite of relentless searching for the frontier? cottage-core?

Should we add Dolphus Raymond to the "white negro" pantheon? How about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mezz_Mezzrow#Personal_life ?

My answer to that is that what little time Gibson spent on the West Coast was on the underclass :)

Normcore as reaction to hipsterism (We're still sort of in it apparently)?

Thanks! Virginia is screaming at the top of her lungs! (Ohanian, Poole, Gibson)
