agree  Lars Jelking: Hip is derived from the -60ies term 'hippie' which was "trendy" in those days. Community family and slightly sloppy clothes. But mind you, from those came todays CEOs and political leaders!

agree  George Hopkins: Hip, according to Collins: 1) aware of or following the latest trends in music, ideas, fashion, etc. 2) informed (about).
