People who look a certain way tend to hang around with people who look the same. People who dress one way tend to hang with others who dress the same. Think Metal heads, goths, suits, hipsters, urban, etc.

During breaks in filming of the movie PLANET OF THE APES, actors made up as different ape species tended to hang out together, gorillas with gorillas, orangutans with orangutans, chimps with chimps. It wasn't required, it just naturally happened.

So here is the question. If you or the way you dress associates with with Group A, and you see and get close to Group B who looks differently, where does the feeling of intimidation come from? Nico-t was obviously pissed off by the Hipsters even though they did nothing wrong. Whatever he thinks about the hipsters does not only keep him away from them, it makes him hate them. Why? If they said or did nothing to do you Nico, you should not feel intimidated and should have no hatred towards them, yet you do.

(I'm not trying to pick on you, I'm just interested in the psychology behind this).
because they are non conformists who conform by wearing their little uniform (hornrims, skinny jeans, toms, keds, so they are conforming by default
