It's not just for hipsters, but for anyone who wants to avoid being stuck in the stone age of code.
You see, version control is like a super cool caveperson who keeps all the important sticks and stones (code and changes) in a safe place, so you don't have to dig up all the dirt (debug) later on.
Without version control, your codebase is like a messy campsite - it's a nightmare to navigate and you'll never find what you're looking for.
So, go forth and commit, but not without version control, my friends!
