Hey wait a sec... lose the trust fund check, change the vans to flip flops and the PBR to SIL, and that's ME! Ffs... I had no idea...

I straight out asked him - last night - if he was a hipster and he said NO and his gf said NO.

BUT - and here's the ironic part - He's 8 foot tall, she's 4 foot tall, he wears old school Chuck Taylors. Tats? None visible. Glasses, cabbie hat? No. but - there are ominous signs...

complete lack of trust fund check probably cancells out all other debts, though.

ok, I've read this whole thread and still can't figure out what a hipster really is. Do they do something weird or just dress like the pictures featured above?

I think it's a "type" but with the money to back it all up. Like the rich hippies - like the kids who followed the Dead back in teh day. They were usually from pretty well-off families. they were just "experimenting" with the vagabond lifestyle. what got me wondering just exactly what defines a hipster was a stephen colbert bit about how one borough of NYC (Williamsburg??) had the least percentage of census returns and it was a "hipster" neighborhood.

I know they are supposed to wear ironic T-shirts. :)

Is today's hipster yester- years beatnik?

Maybe Ibram would know. He is sort of hipster ish ( hip ) young,trendy...ect

Yes, Beatniks is what I thought too. Then came Hippies, and now the pendelum has swung back.

Good thing you saved that set of Bongo drums, eh Bruce? ;)
