You're a hipster if.....

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.

Let me teach you reading friend.

I specifically said, "I recall someone calling me a hipster..." and then I decried it and mentioned others decrying it. I never, ever, claimed this and only a person with a horribly bad understanding of the simple English language could see otherwise.

My reading is quite fine. Perhaps don't end a thought stating that people referred to you as a hipster, but that the reason you aren't is because you weren't born into wealth. So, you wear tight jeans, drink pbr, and have shaggy hair... But you don't have a trust fund? Then you're a hipster. And by decrying hipsters, you mean

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

Hipsters hate Hipsters. That's like one of the rules I thought. That could have been a point for you being a hipster.

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.

This is pretty accurate.
Trustafarians we call them in New Mexico. 20-30 somethings with too much money. They spend a lot of time in outdoor pursuits like skiing and kayaking and mountain biking.

Well that's a wonderfully specific definition, but the main part is the bolded part to act hip. Naturally that is going to evolve over the years, like the ridiculous "let's bring back the worst thing in the world: cassette tapes" movement a few years ago.

I'm not sure there are any non wannabes. It's built into their schtick.

Guys, he's not a hipster, he's a daywalker.

Okay I was pissed at being called a hipster, and accused of having shaggy hair and skinny jeans, which I don't, but. . .

THIS SERIOUSLY CROSSES THE LINE.

Edit:

To be clear, I do have the Scottish curse of the red beard. But not hair. Also, I have two children, but it could have been three.

My first child came out a daywalker. The gene is somewhere I guess. I looked at doctor and he must have seen the terror in my eyes. That beautiful man just put his hand on my shoulder and said, "do you want me to take care of this?" I nodded with a slight tear in my eye, and the doctor proceeded to audibly crack the kids neck and look to my wife and say, "I'm sorry miss, he was stillborn."

Oh hipster now means whatever people intend it to mean. Language definitely evolves. Now when I think of hipster I think more of Columbus, Madison, SF, and Taos. Maybe Athens, GA as the only Southern bastion, from what I've heard.

You had me until the last sentence. I now know you're not a hipster. You're just a psycho.

And I've had meds to prove it.

In all reality though redheads have the propensity to be the hottest women on the planet. I can't speak to the guys. Maybe you can help with that.

And yes, I love absurdity and boundaries. I don't know how I'd get through this world without finding it all mostly silly.

That reminds me, Michael Palin looks like a hipster!
