Those above might not relate enough. But these should:

Frank, Thomas. “Why Johnny Can’t Dissent.” Commodify Your Dissent: Salvos from The Baffler. Eds. Thomas Frank and Matt Weiland. New York: W.W Norton, 1997. Print.

Hebdige, Dick. Subculture: The Meaning of Style. 1979. London: Routledge 1987. Print.

Greenwall, John. “Capitalism and the Rise of Consumerism.” D!ssent 41 (2013): 39-43.

Adorno and Horkenheimer touch on related issues in The Dialectic of Enlightenment if I remember correctly.

You also might want to look at (but I'm not sure if they're going to help):

None specifically about hipsters of today, but it should all relate. The ethos of hipsterism isn't particularly new, it's just a reiteration of recurring commercial impulses.

Try:
Debord - Society of the Spectacle

I fucked that post up by copy pasting.

I meant to say: You also might want to look at (but I'm not sure if they're going to help):

Debord - Society of the Spectacle


Look into the terms "recuperation" in the situationalist-marxist sense. "Co-optation" and "incorporation"

"Co-optation of subculture/counter culture" would be a particularly good search term.

Thanks.

Unpacking Queer Politics by Sheila Jeffreys touches on this a bit, though it's more about masculinism taking root in gay culture.
