We've had street art, fixies, coffee, craft beer and posh trews..
If I wanna make some dollars in a provincial town a few months from now what bandwagon should I be jumping on?
wood burning stoves...
Beer blending. Offer beer in small (expensive) quantities and let the buyer blend it into something of their own liking.
Good food, good beer, good coffee and a nice evening place to sit with bar stools and conversation. It's catching on here
Ooh! A mongolian beer barbeque!
E bikes
IN car BBQ ..
Posh sheds and log shelters made by artisan craftsmen with a thick beard and a bun on top of their heid guising as carpenters thinking they are Jesus as they fire their Spit nail gun to tie the decking cut offs together
Pop ups selling organic ,artisan ,gluten free ,detoxing sugar plum fairies.
Or a Sunbed shop?

We call that a 'pub', 'bar' or 'cafe'.
People without beards have had them for a while.

Possibly a leather colonic irrigation kit to infuse yourself with tea.
knitting - making jumpers with, yerknow, organic wool from a really really rare breed of donkey
yeah Tarquin, it's a vintage loom, all manual; look at the weft

Indeedy. But want are the going to do when they want to get rid of their tats? They can't stay in fashion fit ever.
I'd be buying up/or taking shares in Police Riot Gear, once A50's been invoked (yea, right) normal law abiding society will be buying this up sharpish.

Half fat bikes with a fat front wheel and a normal rear. 😉
And drop bar cx bikes that can accommodate 60mm tyres. 😯
In times of recession and anxiety people tend to seek comfort in low rent nostalgia - in 2008 as the recession started sales of frozen fish fingers rocketed
I reckon shit weak lager is due a comeback now that brexit and everything. Skol, Kerstral, Lamot, Harp...... Breaker. Anything 8 cans for a fiver. But now with the pound on its arse - 1/3 of a can for £8
Or candyfloss
Or gonks
Or stick eyes on candy floss and sell it as 'edible gonks'
How about you reintroduce 'Danger Night' and start a travelling fairground thats only open on the thursday before the dates advertised on the posters.

Artisan cheese toasties

Yes but as they used to serve watery beer, crap food and look at strangers like they had heads they look like they are falling out of fashion
Fascism.
Massive 70's style lady-muffs. For men.
EDIT: Although I'm up for artisan cheese toasties.

Big furry muff.
Apparently the muff is already back in vogue for posh folk

Apparently Pippa's can bellow like Brian Blessed under certain circumstances
When A50 is triggered and the country is completely bankrupt and everyone is starving.. The hipsters will be first to get eaten. You need to sell special artisan knives, bow (with unicorn hair string) and arrows, and various weapons, knuckle dusters, machetes etc. So they can protect themselves
Artisan Seaweed & Chocolate Omelettes.

Binners.
This is an actual real thing in the SF Bay Area now - undrinkable overpriced hipster beer.
IPA (it *has* to be IPA) that is at least 7% and is so insanely hoppy that it strips off the roof of your mouth. And is also cloudy, as though they thought that dead yeast would add to the experience.
And $10 for a tiny glass (whatever mad measures they use there, but it looks like less than half a pint).
It's everywhere, all the "craft" breweries seem to be making this stuff, so it's pot luck now whether you get something good, or undrinkable over-hoppy grapefruit coloured junk.

Are string backed driving gloves due a revival? Or did I miss it?
Someone opened an Artisan Cheesemongers near me a couple of years ago. It closed.

Men knitting their own beards. On the internet. In spite of women.
Artesian water....emmmm...
Screw that

Jeans that used to be skinny but have been stretched by fat people.

You're at least 5-8 years behind the curve on getting annoyed by that.
There are now so many 'craft' breweries in the UK that many can't give their beer away* and are only in business because Tarquins dad is still throwing money at his sons east end craft brewery project because it has to be worth as much as Meantime and Campden town breweries sold out for, hasn't it?
*it was always the case that breweries would offer buy X casks and get one free to pubs, but X has dropped from ~8 to 3, and it's sale or return.
I went to Camden Town brewery last summer, it was shut for a private event. FFS.
Have hipsters done whittling yet? Either than or some sort of ridiculously highly polished wood type goods.
I reckon TB and Polio have got to be due to make a fashionably late reappearance.
Possibly 20 hole cherry red DMs?
Tea will be the new coffee.
Cassettes will be the new vinyl.
Beef brisket will be the new pulled pork.

Tea will be the new coffee.
Already there....
Me too, I'm ironically drinking it out of a mug, with milk but no sugar, right now daddio.
The next hipster trend is going to be holding your breath for 10 minutes.
Only really cool people in the know know about it though, so don't tell any non-cool people.
[i]That should sort a whole bunch of them out.[/i]
Read every post and I'm agreeing with some by going for whittling (with driftwood) and knitting (using dog hair or something). I'll also add rollerblading.
The truth.
penis beards.
Hopefully self-awareness.
You should retrain in counselling
The rules.
Use of the words: craft, boutique or wedding, enable the retailer to double the price of the item.
I'm going to start selling boutique craft wedding flapjacks in my cafe, I reckon £12 each?
Make that £15 if I serve them on a wooden platter.
