In my early notes fro Scott Pilgrim vol 1 I indicated that Knives was going to attempt to morph into a “scenester chick” after meeting Scott (because that’s what she thinks he wants). As I wrote the actual book this evolved more into her being inspired & influenced by Kim and Ramona, the older, cooler girls.

In the actual book, I used the word “hipster” which came to replace “scenester” in 2004 — the “demon hipster chicks” are just supposed to be fashionable party girls who are demons. It’s more of a visual description than anything, and I thought the phrase “demon hipster chicks” was funny.

Scott Pilgrim the series was neither skewering nor celebrating “hipster culture”. I have always ignored the term. It started as a catch-all term for silly young people dressing funny and listening to the indiest music they could find, and was eventually co-opted by the wider culture as a social slur. “Hipster” is now almost exclusively a hateful term. Nobody should ever use it. It has become a bad word.
