Miley Cyrus was by far the biggest thing to ever happen to Disney. But after her Hannah Montana days, Miles stopped wearing bras, smoked a little salvia and joined her fellow friends in the hipster world. She can totally pull it off, though and fans around her age don't seem to mind this transition. She's "just being Miley" after all, right?

Vanessa Hudgens turned to the hipster-side after High School Musical and her relationship with Zac Efron ended. Soon, V was being spotted in cut-off shorts, beaded headbands and fringe galore. Her new beau is also kind of hipster-ish too, which just adds to the equation. She’s also now a regular at Coachella. If that’s not enough evidence, then I don’t know what is. 

Joe Jonas slowly transitioned into a hipster when he got more into fashion and decided that his contact lenses weren’t cool anymore. He switched over to regular glasses (Ray Ban frames of course) and [...]

Joe Jonas slowly transitioned into a hipster when he got more into fashion and decided that his contact lenses weren’t cool anymore. He switched over to regular glasses (Ray Ban frames of course) and started riding a vintage red bike around Los Angeles while sporting a red headband. He may be slightly over that look now but he’s still got that hipster vibe in him.

Shia LeBeouf disappeared for quite some time after Even Stevens ended, but he will forever be one of Disney's original stars. When he shot to fame thanks to Transformers, the world saw Shia transform into a badboy hipster. It works for him... kind of.

Once upon a time, Keri Russell was on the Mickey Mouse Club, skyrocketed to fame for her hair and Felicity, did some indie movies that got her noticed... and then she moved to Brooklyn, married a carpenter and had two kids named River and Willa. Need we say more?

Remember how Lindsay Lohan's breakout role was when she was that little twelve-year-old form Long Island in a little remake of The Parent Trap? It's okay, we don't either. As Lilo started to grow up and out of Disney, we saw her go into a semi-hipster phase. Now, she's a full-blown faux It girl, partying with Terry Richardson and never leaving the house without YSL pumps.

If any Disney star has gone through hell and back, it's Demi Lovato. After leaving rehab, former Disney darlings to turn hipster. The paparazzi constantly caught her in Jeffrey Campbell Lita heels (the ultimate hipster shoe) as well as glitter stiletto nails, printed knits and long, wavy hair. As long as Demi's happy and thinks she's in a good place, we're happy for her and her hipster ways.

The Disney Channel is essentially a factory. They take good-looking and well-behaved kiddies and make them into superstars, super virgins and just all-around little wads of pink bubble gum. These kids represent everything great about the Disney brand. They become favorites of children and parents alike, and they have massive success for years on end. But what happens when it all falls apart?

Well, we have all seen what happens — and it’s not exactly pretty. Sure, stars like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera go completely nuts after their Disney days are caput, but other stars do so in a less subtle way.

We couldn’t help notice the trend of starlets and heartthrobs who abandon their beloved Mickey Mouse roots and turned to the dark side of hipsterdom. We’ve compiled a gallery of some of our favorite Disney Channel legends who traded in their purity rings for hipster cred. Click through and let us know what you think!

      I love Miley but she’s not the biggest thing to happen to Disney. She is the ‘it girl’ of the past five years, but before her it was Lizzie McGuire and overall it’s Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Ryan Gosling, Christina Aguilera….well, the list goes on.
