Thanks for reading guys.
I've definitely seen plenty of that Anonymous, but I think that "I liked them before they were cool" is too straightforward a way of saying "I'm cooler than you" for this poem. I think it works better if they're saying "I'm cooler than you", but hiding it behind moral/ethical grounds; at least the hipster isn't pretending to represent a cause in his quest for coolness.
I think I could probably write a stanza about "environmentalists" though.
