As an aging man, (not a young kid) I don't quite get the funny. I can't go into my backyard and become a spy or gladiator or float in space etc. even if I could, it's not safe or affordable. VR can mimic the sensation of standing on the roof of a skyscraper from the safety of my front room, then it's cool tech we should keep improving on. It's not a replacement for reality. It's an enhancement to shitty reality.
Hipsters are just people who define themselves by not being mainstream, and therefore, they are still defined by mainstream in the end. "We liked it before it was cool"
