This might help, even if it is satire.

Hmmmm,on a recent creek trip we had Pabst,Spirits,blueberry craft beer,one tatted person,me with an Indiana Jones looking hat,sun glasses and a t-shirt with an ironic slogan,pack of dogs(we were jealous when we passed a car that had more dogs in it than us,looked like they had six in there )......but we had a chainsaw also.See,that separates us from the rest.
None of us smell bad,cause that's what the creeks for.

Hipsterism is a spectrum condition. Some have even argued that all people are hipsters to some degree. A famous historical example of a hipster would be Albert Einstein, who is known for claiming that the extent to which someone was a hipster could not be measured objectively, only in comparison to others.

Satire Idea: Hipsters Speak; Sounding the Alarm

Two hipsters at opposite ends of the planet will always adopt similar mannerisms and styles.


I think what this boils down to is the fact that Hipsters are just insincere. You can drink Pabst and wear flannel and do all the Hipster things but if you do them because you genuinely love them as opposed to just for the irony of it all you are not a hipster. Its the obsession with making a statement with everything that earmarks a hipster.

/\ Apart from the Ipod thing, none of that applies to me.

Phil Fish is the first thing that comes to mind when I'm thinking of a hipster

He's not the nicest person either.

Hmm... I wear slip-on Chucks or Vans style skate shoes. I usually wear shades (clip on) all the time--really helps to cover those eye contact issues. T-shirts I normally wear concern comics, sci-fi, or punk bands. I have a grey shirt with a black Batman logo, NCR/Fallout, Blue Sun, Godzilla: World Destruction Tour, Rancid, Social Distortion, and Operation Ivy t-shirts as well. If I'm not wearing those t-shirts, I'll be wearing either a bowling shirt or an Aloha shirt... Also, I have a nice big, bushy beard and longish hair...

On the positive side, I don't drink PBR and I sure as hell don't wear skinny jeans.

<--- Currently wearing 5.11 Tactical/Concealed Carry fleece hoodie and a 'Cabbiei Hat' as this photo puts it, and my glasses are kind of clunky, but I resemble none of the other stuff here. 'Cabbie Hat', (actually called a Flat Cap), because this is New England, and a lot of people wear them, and I've had this particular cap for about 5 years, and I like it. As for the hoodie? Well, it's a little chilly out, and I saw the thing on sale for $7 at Salvation Army in new condition. I will not pass up on a $70 hoodie on sale at 90% discount.

I favor Kangol caps myself, though as I'm not Samuel L Jackson, I limit myself to bill forward wear.

Admittedly I drink Pabst, primarily for that one line uttered by Dennis Hopper in David Lynch's Blue Velvet: "Heineken? F*ck that sh*t! Pabst Blue Ribbon!" To provide a little history, Pabst would have gone bankrupt had that one line not turned that beer into the drink of the art house movie crowd. Genuine artistic bohemians had adopted Pabst years ago, and that's why hipster posers drink it today, but they probably couldn't tell you why like I just did.

I've seen Blue Velvet a couple times and never even noticed that line; too distracted by general Lynchian creepiness. Now that you explain it, it does make sense. Had I noticed I would probably have doubled down on Heineken (which I drank anyway) to put some psychological space between myself and Hopper's terrifying character.

I like to think of Pabst more of a David Lynch beer, than the beer of Dennis Hopper/Frank Booth.
