Microsoft should promote Windows Phone to Hipsters

All hipsters are sellouts so it should be pretty easy. All that would be needed is to persuade them that the iPhone are too mainstream. Maybe ads with old people using iPhone like phones and wearing skinny jeans.

Actually, what I define as a hipster now:

Someone who uses a Windows Phone, a Surface, and a Windows desktop. Uses Microsoft/Nokia services wherever possible.

Yes please. Hipsters are mainstream now.
Which means, hipster market = $$$$$$$$$$$$

Well, seeing as though Microsoft seems to love alienating power users and treating all their users like idiots, seems like the perfect match. An underpowered OS plus people that love things that "aren't mainstream" just for the sake of not being mainstream, seems like a match made in heaven. Hipsters, eat your heart out. I'm going back to Android. :p

Samsung seemed to try this with some of their ads, looks like it worked for them!
