Are you a Hipster?

[Deberg_1990]

First of all, what is a hipster? I keep seeing this term thrown around, but what is it exactly? Would you describe yourself or a friend as one?

What defines a hipster in your opinion?

Both had perfect hair. Hers... long and straight in a pony tail, jet black. His... parted perfectly on the left side and kind of poofy on the right. He had a perfectly shaped 5 o'clock shadow and both wore black rimmed, black lense sunglasses. Both had perfect skin and were drinking Starbucks.

Were they hipsters or just douchebags?

Both. Hipsters are douche-canoes.

Funny, before I finished reading this, I was preparing to ask you if they were carrying around Starbucks.

**** I sure hope so. And if they do jump the shark, I hope they do so Bob Beamon style because I would sure love to have my brother back. Man do I ever despise the hipster movement.

I will say they seemed like nice people. I over-heard some of their conversation with "parental figures or such" and both were gracious and polite. They just didn't look like they were from around here.

Except if I was one I would gladly admit it but I'm pretty sure hipsters aren't into the following:

• Playing hockey
• my brand new Acura
• Gillette Fusion Razor
• Soap
• Deordorant
• Fine Beers that aren't Tecate, PBR, Rolling Rock etc...
• Women that don't look like they're homeless or like a boy
• Air Jordan sneaker collection

Real hipsters don't drink Starbucks.

They drink fair trade, shade grown beans, locally-roasted by their neighbor in his garage roasterie.

You people clearly know nothing about hipsters.

Oh. And the coffee is generally sweetened with heirloom honey from the community hive situated on the nearby abandoned lot that their neighborhood has turned into an urban garden.

If you didn't talk to them, they were hipsters.

I know I don't. I wear jeans and t-shirts every day. Often the shirts have a skull or some oil company on them... and I often wear a ball cap....... forward. I know nothing about fashion.
