What is a hipster?

Not as useful as a dumpster

 

I think a hipster, by definition, has to have a beard or mustache and appropriate sunglasses.
I do not have any of the three, so, ... sadly, not a hipster. I do shop some of the places where you see them though. Farmers' Markets, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods. They seem to be pretty diet conscious to their credit, but more into beer than can possibly be good.

 

But I like craft ale and gluten free brownies...
so what I mean is gay in the 2018 sense that being stereotyped, as anything, is redundant.

 

I like craft ale too as for gluten free:

I think it's a personality. It's like your a hipster: you love whole foods, attend music festivals, wear sandals, do outdoorsy things. Maybe I'm off though. I'm not a hipster. I'm not an anything I guess.

 

We are all hispters here. That's why it's called HIPforums,obviously.

 

This describes me. I'm not a hipster. I'm just eco friendly.

 

Label and categorize...

 

a word can have different meaning to different people

like for me my description of a todays generation of hipster would be someone who barely works...high chance they are on the public dole...but still tends to buy expensive clothes so they can look semi-professional while they post expert opinions on the internet forums and wait for their parents to die so they could get an inheritance and pretend their lives had meaning

maybe throw in a few short visits to an "occupy" rally

and of course craft beer with stupid names

oh and they have to constantly complain about trump...and taxes ...which they dont even pay

 

Like about as much meaning as fixing tyres and brakes all day

What is this obsession with doing a job

I'm not going to reveal my circumstances and finances, but I'll never have to work again in my life

And that feels good to me

If you don't like it it's none of your business

 

hit a nerve eh

it was just my opinion anyway..wasnt aimed at anyone in particular

 

Th OP greatly exaggerates the actual influence that hipsters have on pop culture and culture in general.

 

Hipsters are just a younger generation than me. Probably not many would identify themselves as such though. It's just a media angle.

 

wat ur mama doesn't want u to b

 

No that was punk

 

I'm a sheepster

 

I thought that was asmo's job...

 

Asmo has a job?

 

Oh yeah. Delivering cheese.

Hipster job.

 

Hipster?

I think this might sum it up.

The hipster subculture is stereotypically composed of younger and middle-aged adults who reside primarily in gentrified neighborhoods.[1][2] It is broadly associated with indieand alternative music and genres such as chill-out, folk, modern rock, pop rock, andpost-Britpop. Hipsters also frequently flaunt a varied non-mainstream fashion sensibility,vintage and thrift store-bought clothing, generally pacifist progressive and greenpolitical views, veganism, organic and artisanal foods, craft alcoholic beverages,alternative lifestyles, and snobbery. The subculture typically consists of mostly whiteyoung adults living in urban areas.[3][4] It has been described as a "mutating, trans-Atlantic melting pot of styles, tastes and behavior".
