Peter York's Hipster HandbookNovember 3, 2016

Eminent social commentator Peter York seeks to understand what he sees as the modern obsession with 'The Authentic'. He speaks to crafts people and expert commentators on his journey to understand the current cultural moment. He also examines where the label of the 'hipster' has its roots and whether it is too general a term for such a broad movement. He demonstrates through his years of marketing and advertising experience that subcultures have always been absorbed and repackaged by the mainstream.

Peter York's Hipster Handbook was broadcast on BBC4 at Sunday 15 July 2018, 06:33. This episode was initially placed on Thursday 3 November 2016.
