A bearded man believed he was the 'hipster' pictured in an MIT Technology Review article titled, 'The hipster effect: When anticonformists all look the same.' But was he?
A man mistook this stock photo for himself after it was included in a story about hipsters all looking alike. According to Getty Images, the man pictured here is"a handsome young man in trendy winter attire against a wooden background." By Meagan Flynn Meagan Flynn Morning Mix reporter Email Bio Follow March 7 at 5:24 AM Let’s say you come across a photograph in a magazine of a bearded man walking down a sidewalk in a flannel shirt and a beanie.
Gideon Lichfield, editor in chief of MIT Technology Review, received the accusatory email that same day, and immediately he launched an investigation, the findings of which came to light this week. He started by asking, Would his magazine really misuse this bearded man’s photograph without his permission and without a Getty Images license? No way — his art team would never do that, Gideon thought, as he told The Washington Post in an interview Wednesday.
Getty Images completed its review March 5. Its response was decisive: Definitely just a model — a different bearded, beanie-wearing guy. — Gideon Lichfield March 6, 2019 Litchfield said it was “an extraordinary coincidence,” given the research that was the subject of the article, the “hipster effect.”
— Gideon Lichfield March 6, 2019 His research splits a hypothetical world of people into two groups: the mainstreams and the hipsters . The mainstreams have a “strong incentive” to constantly be switching their styles based on what they view to be, well, the mainstream fashion of the day — they like to sense an obvious “consensus.
