Resumo(s)
21st century hipsters have been identified as consciously avoiding certain brands. However,
little is known about their motives. Thus, this research aims to explore brand avoidance motives
among today´s hipsters by means of an abductive research approach with in-depth interviews.
The findings can confirm previously identified main avoidance types, namely: experience,
identity, moral, and deficit-value avoidance. However, also a new theme has emerged: indirect
avoidance, where brands may be avoided due to negative inferences hipsters draw from geographic
locations of a store or chosen retail stores to a certain brand. Further, mass marketing
and visible logos may amplify the underlying reasons of avoidance. Practical implications for
brand managers are discussed.
