You're a hipster if.....

[jlb1705]

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.

I thought you were going to say being a hipster is like being a Browns fan in that you spend all your time making fun of them while never admitting that you are, in fact, one yourself.

That one works too, just not for me.

I can admit I have a couple of hipster tendencies. I think my jeans just started getting slimmer and cuffing themselves out of nowhere.

So...a hipster is a beatnik with no soul or purpose...right?

 

[Thump]

.....you use the word "sophisticated" to describe any beverage you consume.

I didn't even know what a hipster was for a while when I first started hearing the phrase.

Now I know what they are and man oh man.....not their biggest fan.

Fucking PBR? and thinking it's somehow cool?

Completely wrong. A hipster is socially conscious to an extreme. That gives soul of a sort and social purpose.
Funky clothing choices add "character'. Living in places like Oakland allows for more "expression" of interests like organic food. And music tastes.
They tend to buy cars like the Nissan Junk...er Juke! Ugly, funky cars.

In many ways, it's the classic story of urban renewal: Young artists move into a downtrodden place where they can afford the rents. They proceed to build up a buzz and a social scene, paving the way for hip bars, restaurants, boutiques, and upscale condo dwellers. Ultimately, and ironically, their efforts bring about a neighborhood where young artists — not to mention the original residents — can no longer afford to live.

Uhhh no. But it totally figures that you would say that.

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

PBR is dead to hipsters. They are now into rare craft brews (usually grotesquely over-hopped) that have an illusion of scarcity to drive up demand and hyped up "release dates" to create a hipster feeding frenzy.

And facial hair. Carefully researched and curated facial hair.

......you wear a little scarf with your small, black, pea coat.

You know what a pea coat is.
