the closest i will ever come to ''hip'' is when i will need a hip replacement in a few years...i have no problem being ''unhip''
I was raised by hippies(or so my wife tells me).Now I'm just a drunk redneck that happens to like the dead,tie dyes,& raising a garden
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipster_(contemporary_subculture) And the best definition ever, courtesy or urban dictionary: 1. Hipster 7996 up, 2872 down buy hipster mugs, tshirts and magnets Listens to bands that you have never heard of. Has hairstyle that can only be described as "complicated." (Most likely achieved by a minimum of one week not washing it.) Probably tattooed. Maybe gay. Definitely cooler than you. Reads Black Book, Nylon, and the Styles section of the New York Times. Drinks Pabst Blue Ribbon. Often. Complains. Always denies being a hipster. Hates the word. Probably living off parents money - and spends a great deal of it to look like they don't have any. Has friends and/or self cut hair. Dyes it frequently (black, white-blonde, etc. and until scalp bleeds). Has a closet full of clothing but usually wears same three things OVER AND OVER (most likely very tight black pants, scarf, and ironic tee-shirt). Chips off nail polish artfully after $50 manicure. Sleeps with everyone and talks about it at great volume in crowded coffee shops. Addicted to coffee, cigarettes (Parliaments, Kamel Reds, Lucky Strikes, etc.), and possibly cocaine. Claims to be in a band. Rehearsals consist of choosing outfits for next show and drinking PBR. Always on the list. Majors or majored in art, writing, or queer studies. Name-drops. May go by "Penny Lane," "Eleanor Rigby," etc. when drunk. On PBR. Which is usually. I am not a fucking hipster! (sweeps bangs to side dramatically and takes a swig of PBR)
you would get on famously with my husband, who was raised in a tent by stoner hippies who eventually sold out and got good paying jobs. he is also a redneck who likes to drink, except that tiedyes give him hives.
