It's happened all over the world, and it's happening in China, too. As the country's middle class swells in number -- and its people discover the pleasures and disappointments of a life spent pursuing material comfort -- there has come the emergence of a distinct counter-culture.

It's China's closest equivalent to the alternately beloved and reviled English word, "hipster."
