1. Hipster
A HIPSTER, AS DEFINED BY URBAN DICTIONARY IS AS
FOLLOWS:
Referring to young people of around 18-30 years of age, who drink
cheap beer, listen to on-the-cusp famous musicians, and sport
thrifted clothing; someone who is smart enough to regurgitate facts
they Googled about philosophy, music, politics, art, etc. with you all
day long, but not smart enough to see how big of a tool he or she is
They typically flock to any gentrified neighborhood, which explains
why there is such a big population of them in neighborhoods like
Woodbridge, Midtown— and the occasional downtown stray.
You can recognize an approaching Hipster if they are wearing a beanie, glasses that contain no
prescription lenses and look like the bastard offspring of a hobo and a rocker.
How to be a hispter?
Dress like a hipster. Fashion is just as important as your taste in music. While shopping at vintage
stores remains a staple for many hipsters, this is not a given, nor does it need to be a part of the hipster
wardrobe. Know the labels. Several labels cater to the hipster scene; the more well-known include
American Apparel, Vans, Brandy Melville, Pacsun, Free People, and Urban Outfitters.
Avoid buying labeled gear from stores run by the label itself (so very not nice consumerism). Instead,
look for independent retailers because supporting obscure retailers is "totally deck". For example, buy
from local mixed fashion stores near you.
Wear glasses. Hipsters love ironic eyewear such as shuttershades, oversized plastic framed glasses,
Buddy Holly glasses, and most commonly authentic Ray Ban Wayfarers in all the
colors of the rainbow. Some hipsters wear eyeglasses even though they have 20/20
vision! In this case, pop out the lenses or make sure they're just regular glass.
Accessorize. There is a wide range of accessories, including large
flower headbands, neon nail polish, pins, bright belts, black
nailpolish, bird necklaces, patterned and colorful leggings, etc.
Don't forget your plugs, piercings, and random scars supposedly
acquired through woodwork and other carpenter-like endeavors.
Appropriately ironic accessories are mandatory, such as things kids
would take to school, like an animal image on a lunchbox.
Ignore the comments about improper hygiene. Some people associate hipsters with hippies and assume
that they don’t shower regularly or otherwise don’t practice proper hygiene. This is a misconception.
Though some hipsters participate in the no shampoo movement (which is still very clean), most practice
normal hygiene (with bonus artisanal and environmentally-friendly soaps!). While hipsters do shower
regularly and clean their teeth, they're just less interested in forking out money for hairstyling, spa
sessions, pedicures/manicures, and large make-up kits because these are signs of conforming to
cultural ideals of beauty.
I have been accused of being one. I have been asked
what they are. And at the end of the day I have no
fucking clue how to respond.
