What is a Hipster?

[Manic]

10 years? You give them too much credit. They've got less than 5 before we start calling them something else.

So what if there is a thin, pensive, hopefully humble, dude who has always had a soft spot for typewriters, loafers and sport coats. Only wears his glasses at home. Regular boot cut jeans not the tight ****. An agnostic, non-voting, skeptic with dreams of making it as an author.

Is he a hipster?

No, because the word "humble" is in there. Hipsters are basically the *****ebags of the progressive left.

Plus not wearing skinnyjeans disqualifies him.

So what do I...uh, him, qualify as then?

 

[Anubis]

"Some dude."

Half-elf fighter-mage.

 

[JStorm]

Fact. I have seen him do this.

I think I recall him telling a cute girl to take her Batman shirt off once as well......but I think she PASSED the quiz.

I believe I started that trend around a Universal trip, early 2000's? I didn't appreciate all the *****es buying Superhero shirts, and not know who they were. Obviously, my obsession grew when Target begin making its Hipster versions of the same shirts.

Pics or it didnt happen.

See my last post above.

No pics of her in her Harley shirt yet.

But I got the cape and mask:

[JStorm]

Yeah. I hit that.

 

[Anubis]

So whats wrong with her? Other than the fact that she let you hit that of course.

 

[Lily Adler]

Well it's official my cousin is a hipster. I had my suspicions, but now they are confirmed.

 

[Amarante]

I don't have any face beneath that mask. It's permanently attached.

Th^t and she's a little touched.

girls are so much more fun when they take their shirts off.

Its funny because its true t:

Nope, it's true it's not funny, at all. haha

 

[SuperFerret]

Its funny because its true t:

It's actually not. Urkel never made any pretense that he was cool.

 

[The Morningstar]

But modern day Urkel would.

 

[SuperFerret]

Not necessarily. Urkel is Urkel, if he tried to pretend that being the way he was (Stefan Urkel need not apply) was cool, he wouldn't be acting true to the character.

 

[The Morningstar]

Hmm fair point.

 

[Godzilla2000]

A Hipster is somebody that I am not. My pants aren't tight enough.

 

[Octoberist]

The thing is that, being hipster is more of an (bad or not) attitude than a style at this point. Because form fitting jeans for men are in anyway. That includes me.

Hipsters are basically young adults who try not to conform by conforming to the hipster scene. They work on the same basic property that emos, goths, etc. do. Hipsters are all about art, and they think they're the **** when it comes to it. They have the best indie music you've never heard of and they flock to thrift shops for flannel and skinny jeans. The dough they shell out to fill their iThings with ebooks and music can only be matched by the money they spend on their prescription-less, "nerdy" glasses. They're hair is always "unique", especially for the male breed, ranging from spikey to reverse mullet. Occasionally a hipster can be seen with a lip ring, which is rumored to enhance the non-conforming coolness of Starbucks frothy coffee-esque drinks. When they're not working as barristas or librarians, they're often found lounging around in Barnes & Nobles. Hipsters are similar to Dragon-type Pokemon; they are their kinds' only weakness. Well, they and "the man," of course. If you spot a hipster and ask them if they're one, their answer will always be some variant of, "no! I hate hipsters."

There you have it. Or should I say... there you hip it.

Wow, I use to work with someone like that, and actually got to hang out with her; one thing I remember was that she was so judgmental of everyone, especially people in Chicago (she was from San Francisco).
