Hipsters are a subculture of men and women typically in their 20's and 30's that value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter. The greatest concentrations of hipsters can be found living in the
Things that hipsters love!
Music that doesn't even exist yet:
By the time the band has formed, hipsters don't like it anymore. Impromptu jam-sesh or bust.
Farming:
Vegetables from grocery stores are just reasonably priced poison.Logan Square:
It's like a more Bucktownish Bucktown. Not-for-profit Organizations:
Sorry that we care.Non-iPod Issued Headphones:
It's a sound quality thing... you wouldn't get it.Fixies:
Gears are for conformists.
Meekness:
Nothing says "banker" like good posture and eye contact.Boomboxes:
If it isn't 1992, and you aren't black, leave the boombox at home.
Exaggerated Mustaches:
The mustache can be real or fake. The only requirement is that it makes you look like a character from the "Great Gatsby".Outside of Boondocks one night a drunken hipster was proudly showing me his "fauxtoo", which was a tattoo he had drawn on his arm with a Sharpie marker. It was a penis with boobs.
Now hipster look has become generic and meaningless. People with blue hair listen to top 40. People spend hundreds of dollars trying to look like they shop at the thrift store. They have appropriated the style, yet discarded everything that the style stood for.
Very funny epsiode of a show that combines two of my favorite things hipsters and zombies.
