I can't read shit up close anymore. I've never been to an eye doctor in my life, seriously. I could always read shit from miles away. But I have to get some kind of glasses soon. And I know the frames or whatever are supposed to "say" something about my personality. I think I'm gonna go with Ben Franklin glasses. That fits my personality I think.

Being a hipster is like being a Browns fan. I admit that I am one of them and I take all of the ridicule I deserve. I usually can't stand to be around any others though because they are just the fucking worst.

Not only do I still root for the Browns, but I have an autographed picture of Lou Groza, a flannel pennant and a T-shirt with the Brownie holding a football. All brought to you by Pfeiffer Beer in the Imperial Quart.

I've worked hard to become a certified Old Fart, but I'll settle for hipster even though it seems less dignified.

I just checked... my bikes all have gears and free wheels on them.

whew... that was close.

Unfortunately for anyone who is still a hipster, I mean, it sucks because the wave has crashed... the irony is no longer ironic. I'm happy though, they've fucked up a lot of things that I used to like but got way expensive.

Its a bummer, but on to the next cool thing... business suits I imagine. Failing that, my prediction is a return of the preppie... more early 80's style. Is Banana Republic still a thing? Buy stock in the Gap. Its time has come again. Sadly, LL Bean is privately held it appears.

Good luck out there hipsters... its a brave new world...

I scored a goose egg on that bad bay. I had to look up Toms.

My daughter asked me if I used to wear Toms. I said you mean canvas converse high tops, well hells yeah. I had no choice, dad wouldn't buy me leather high tops for basketball. I got laughed at by the cool players....

Don't know if I am a hipster, but I like craft beer, a good single malt and cigar, wear an occasional goatee or beard and stache, have a pea coat...

You appear to be too young to be a hipster. 1) Chuck Taylors, aka Converse by non-hipsters, a) had flat soles b) were on the market long before leather was introduced in lieu of canvas 3) we hipsters were into Jack Purcells, especially Jack Purcells held together with duct tape.

My less-than-scientific observation concludes that kids tend to be more into 'natti/Bud/Coors/Miller light/Lite, though judging from the way real beer is being replaced by apple-induced fire water on Kroger/carry-out shelves it may be that they trend toward that Mark May, so you seem to be no worse than a hipster-in-training by stating a preference for single malt and stogies. It may all hinge on where and when you got your pea coat and if it is made from wool or a carbon based fiber.

Now that I've talked it out, I think I liked me better when I was an Old Fart or a Geezer, anyway, get those damn kids off my lawn!

I think it was 1974 in downtown Shelby. There was a little shoe store on Main Street, by the old theater and the Ben Franklin. I wanted the white leather high top Adidas. Dad bought me the white canvas converse high tops and told me I was happy....:excited:

So I checked out "hipsters" in the Urban Dictionary to see if I knew what the hell I was talking about. Apparently not. UD claims hipsters to be 20 - 30 somethings who hang out in expensive neighborhoods in NYC - Chi town and SF.

So I'm comfy in my old cut Levis, flannel shirt and top siders and happy to be an official Old Fart. As Dylan said, "You don't need a weatherman to tell which way the wind blows." Thanks for the tip, Kyle.
