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):

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.
