Clue/Question: The trendy young hula dancer was a – – –
Answer: HIPSTER
(It makes perfect sense, but I wasn’t seeing it for a while! All of the clue words are old friends, yet all of the jumbles came up as new. The first three I saw right away, but “cnaitt” gave me some pause. The answer letter layout was the best jumble. It definitely gave me more than a pause! My first instinct was something ending in IST, but I couldn’t do anything with the HREP. If anything, it hid the word HIP . . . from me, very well!
The cartoon is great. The dancers in the background are definitely moving their hips. And, the trendy one has multiple attributes of a hipster. But, I just wasn’t putting two and two together for a while. She does have the whole vibe going on though. Doesn’t she? The completely inappropriate knit hat . . . in the tropics! The big frame glasses, that may or may not be prescription. Holding her grandé, single origin, mocha, overpriced coffee beverage. The funky fringed skirt, with a pocket for her cell phone. And, something that looks like army boots! Yeah. She definitely screams hipster! But, it took me some time to see it. Maybe I was just tired? Hmm. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

It’d be virtually impossible to figure this one out, and it’s not that I’ve done before either, for that. I may be called fashion-challenged these days by anyone born on this century, but even conceptually, it’d be hard to see those boots as a hipster attire. Then again, what do I know? Cheers
Yeah, i’m anything but one of those, nor do I know any, so that word took a little effort to find for me too. I tried HER and SHE and then found HIP but still had to crunch had out the second syllable. Good puzzle!
Shimmy on, all.
Count me as one that’s not a hipster. The only way I got it was that after a bit of messing around with the clue letters, I decided that the last two letters were ER. So that cut down the remaining letters to 5, and more messing around I sorta got it.
