You're a hipster if.....

eh, you know... I can't think of much more philosophically rewarding as catching your dinner and feeding you or your family... but to each his own....

Okay, I've probably posted about this before and forget.

Hipsters were a thing in the 50s and 60s, and they hate, I can tell you from friendships, this new rendition.

Current Hipsters started in Williamsburg (Willyburg) NYC. It was the first stop off the L line in Brooklyn outside Manhattan, and outside East Village where all of them (and I) came from. The East Village was becoming gentrified.l Hipsters were classified as trust fund babies that purposefully looked poor, drinking PBR and wearing bad clothing, though they were rich. I recall someone calling me a hipster and having others chime in that I couldn't be because I didn't have a trust fund.

This midwestern hipster thing is an ape of that, but without any of the purpose. It is the MTV of hipsters. No, nobody in Ohio is a hipster. They can only be hipster wannabes.

So we can hate all hipsters, but for different reasons.

I have never and will never proclaim me a hipster.

Reading comprehension is good. Look in to it.

:wink:

From these 2 sentences, one could gather from your post that you are/were a hipster. You first state that "they" (hipsters) came from a certain area. You included yourself in their group by adding "and I." You may have merely been stating that you came from there, but one could infer you meant that you were part of the group "them" which is hipsters. You then go on to state that people called you a hipster, but that you couldn't be since you weren't a trust fund kid. Therefore it could be assumed that you were/are a hipster in every sense of the word other than being born wealthy. And since that's not really a criteria in today's definition, that would make you a hipster today and/or a hipster in the past using a revised definition of the word.

Not calling you a hipster, but calling someone out for their reading comprehension may not be the best course as you lead one to make assumptions one way or the other to determine if you were stating you were, or were not, in fact a hipster.
