I know, I'm probably way late to the party.
I think I have a gist of what it is, I've just never experienced before.


I'm not ashamed to admit my almost total lack of knowledge about he subject. I grew up in a small town in Nebraska and currently live in a small town in Alaska, it seems that this is mostly a city born occurance. If not a relatively "new" fad.


From what I gather, its people who like things other people don't like so they seem like they stand out. Like growing an unconventional mustache for irony's purpose.


Beyond that, I haven't a clue. Is there anything more to it?

Boy that was hard


That said "hipster" is such an overused term it has lost all meaning. I wear a plaid shirt, I'm a hipster.

I hate cod because it's popular. But most people hate cod anyway so hating cod actually makes you mainstream.

(example)

I knew that song before it was popular

Sort of like that

Old jeans are now replaced with chinos.
Ipod has been replaced with casette players.
Plaid shirt is replaced with a tank top - or a fishnet vest because too little nipble is too mainstream.
Skin is either orange or chalk white - because a normal colour is too mainstream.
Hair is likely a mess as well as a colour of the rainbow - or a mixture with one is too mainstream.

Huh, I didn't think wikipedia would have anything to say about it.

I admit, I didn't google it. Its midnight here and I'm tired.

Why Google something yourself when you can ask the forum and it will supply the answers while you wait for a reply

I would tell you but you probably wouldn't understand.

I can't tell if you're serious, or suppose to be mimicking a hipster.

It is quite hard to convey tone over the internet.

See what I mean.
