You're a hipster if.....

[matcar]

Hipster = beatnik = hippie. A hipster is anyone that follows any aspect of youth subculture that you think is strange or annoying.

Hipster ain't reserved for the youth. Look no further than Taos....

.......you exclusively buy your athletic clothing at Homage.

I call myself a hickster-while I do have several hipster tendencies, I'm still into tractors and working on cars and shooting at stuff in the strip mines.

What are your hipster tendencies?

What are your hipster tendencies?

Food snob, drive an old Benz, shave with 1940s Gillette razor and European shaving soaps, I've always had black plastic framed glasses that look like my dad's from 1973..

Added: I also use fountain pens

They just want to be different, like everyone else...

Hipster = beatnik = hippie.

Almost.

 

[buckeyegrad]

Completely wrong. A hipster is socially conscious to an extreme. That gives soul of a sort and social purpose.

Since when did hyper-narcissism and delayed adolescence become synonymous with socially conscious?

When you're an aging hippie?

It's just one of the things they do. Not everyone has that particular affliction. And that's one of the things that makes them funny to regular people. They'll support efforts to feed people overseas but not see their local impact on working people.
What makes people really angry is when they invade and push out working class people like what is happening in Oakland. And Oakland has historically been a "inclusive" part of the Bay area.
Then we wonder about their social consciousness. But how many would consider the consequences of such a move?
"Delayed adolescence"? If you want to call it that for 30 something's. But a lot of 30 something's aren't fully integrated in society at that age. And seem more interested in their own lives. So that seems a simplification. Meh.
So we wonder how much of this is our being "judgmental"?
Maybe it's an opportunity for us to examine our lives?

And trolling seems to be something matcar is good at. Talk about delayed adolescence.

 

[buckeyegrad]

"Delayed adolescence" was a poor phrase by me. I meant to say "perpetual adolescence" or "delayed adulthood", by which I mean the failure to take on responsibilities beyond what makes the individual feel good.

Does listening to Mitch Hedberg count as a hipster tendency? I feel like it should but in my defense I liked him before he overdosed on heroin and cocaine.
