Exactly. So everyone's definition will be different.

I think it's possible to define a hipster. Here's my go at it: A hipster is a person who strives to be authentic by appropriating other sub-cultures.

Yeah, it's all good fun. On that day, I'd just finished a 40 mile road ride, came home, got message about alleycat ride, hopped on the San Jose and got there for the start. Won it, too.

Hipsters are the worst! Ugh! With their clothes and their music and their bikes! The worst! Who do they think they are??

I see more 30somethings in spandex and 10 speeds than I do 20somethings with tight jeans and aerospoked fixed gears. I say we reconsider who we are calling hipsters.

:lol: I get you for that Jet, 42 that I am..hahaha

Take the quiz to find out if YOU ARE A HIPSTER!!! :lol:
http://www.timeout.com/newyork/quiz/...ster-quiz?qp=1

Your Score: 18

I shop at Urban Outfitters and like the Cure.
You have some sense of style and decent musical appreciation, but there are some glaring holes in your hipster resume. Don't worry. In this case holes in your resume are a positive thing, because it is a job that you probably don't want.

Hipster may have once been a term for describing a certain type of person who fits into a certain sub-culture. Now it is just a fashion. Yes, we are "infested" with them in SF, but these days it seems that it is just a culture of fashion and nothing else. I have seen groups of middle schoolers wearing skinny jeans, big glasses, 80s shirts, and just generally having that rockstar/junkie look. Similarly i have seen frat boy types that have obviously adopted the fashion, only with designer clothes that are super expensive, but have that vintage/thrift store look.

It's a fashion that is being fed to them just as skateboard culture and fashion was fed to the masses in the 90s.

What's it like being the only person in the world who cares?

Your Score: -482
What's a Moz?
We hate to be the ones that have to break this to you, but unless khaki-colored, baggy cargo pants, Yanni and a pleasant disposition come back into style, you're consigned to a life of unremarkable blandness. We're sorry.

TRaffic Jammer 06-18-08 11:44 AM

Cynikal 06-18-08 11:57 AM

Wait a second! If you like the Cure you are a hipster? What about if you liked them in the 80's? Does that count for anything? And don't get me started about Joy Division...

I know, it seems not even the authors of the quiz were old enough to listen to this stuff in the 70's and 80's.

Fixed it for ya....

TRaffic Jammer 06-18-08 12:09 PM

How is it possible to be so unhip in 10 questions? :lol: Jokes aside, I've know many models in the past and yea, it's some seriously long drawn out stretches of mind numbing boredom and discomfort.

~Stuart~ 06-18-08 12:18 PM

yea... think 16 interviews a day, with 15-45min traveling inbetween, with lines of 50-350 people, to finally have them say "no we wanted dark hair".


the best analogy is "Getting a blow job for 30 min, then having you **** shoved in bucket of ice"






but the drinking in public/lines and girls makes it kinda easier

Participating in that quiz makes you a hipster.
