1941 isn't too early for hepcat followers of Jazz musicians; hepsters were around in the late 1930s, and evolved name-wise into hipsters by 1944: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipster_(1...e)#History

C.R. Berry: Wrap-around glasses with protective side shields were apparently available in the 40s; they just weren’t widespread or popular. His T-shirt is said to bear the logo of the Montreal Maroons, a hockey team that played in the National Hockey League in Canada between 1924 and 1938. And his camera could easily be one of several portable Kodak cameras that were available in 1941.

1941 bridge opening: The style of sunglasses first appeared in the 1920s. On first glance the man is taken by many to be wearing a printed T-shirt, but on closer inspection it seems to be a sweater with a sewn-on emblem, the kind of clothing often worn by sports teams of the period. [...] The remainder of his clothing would appear to have been available at the time, though his clothes are far more casual than those worn by the other individuals in the photograph.

Circa six years after 1941, Gus De Serpa, the guy standing in the background of the "infamous" Hollister riot motorcycle photo, is sporting a proto-beatnik beard in 1947.

Gus De Serpa: “We went uptown, my former wife and I, to see all the excitement, and we ran into these people. They were on the sidewalk and there was a photographer. They started to scrape up the bottles with their feet, you know, from one side to another, and then they took the motorcycle and picked it up and set it right in the glass. That’s not his motorcycle, I can tell you that. He was just in the vicinity, and he was pretty well loaded.

There was a bar right there, Johnny’s Bar. I think he came wandering out of that bar, and they just got him to sit down there. I told my wife, ‘That’s not right; they shouldn’t be doing that. Let’s stand behind them so they won’t take the picture.’ I figured if I was behind them they wouldn’t take it. But he took a picture anyhow, this fellow did, he didn’t care. And then after that, everybody went on about their business." https://mashable.com/2015/05/18/1947-hol...bike-riot/
