I really like indie music, and apparently that makes me a hipster even though There is nothing else hipster-ish about me.
Do you ever get called a hipster?

Same here. I don't really mind hipsters as long as they don't act all superior and shit. But then again that isn't really exclusive to hipsters, thats just being an obnoxious, conceited douchebag.CobraX said:
As for the whole "hipster" thing in general, the definition of a "hipster" can actually pretty loose, vague, inconsistent and can kinda fit anyone. Going through this thread, I've seen a bit of considerable proof of that. Plus, some of the qualifications for what make someone a hipster are pretty fucking stupid. Like for example, the whole plaid shirt argument I seem to hear. What the hell is wrong with plaid or checkered patterns? I can understand the distaste with skinny jeans but those aren't by definition "hipster" either. Just something that randomly got tacked on when a sudden influx of people took on the look. Oh and this:
So, if you have glasses with slightly bigger frames, enjoy a good cup of tea, know how to knit, find older things interesting, own a cat, and aren't over the age of 70, you're a hipster and in turn, a douchebag.
I knew it, all Old People are old douche bags who listen to bands I never heard off!!!TheNaut131 said:

Nope, but I happen to fulfil one or two criteria without trying. I tend to listen to music that's fairly obscure. Not because it's obscure, though. I wish those bands would get more coverage, because they deserve it a lot more than what's on the radio.
And I dress smart-casual sometimes.

Generally I'm called a hipster by two people: a friend, who's just messing around because of where I live; and a co-worker because I often wear plaid shirts with nerdy t-shirts.
This same co-worker goes out of his way to wear obscure band t-shirts raving about all things Radiohead and go out of his way to "not give a shit" about his appearance, which I've begun pointing out is easily 50% more hipster per volume.

Sometimes because of my music tastes, but I don't think that's what makes a hipster. I listen to that music because I like it, not because no one else has heard of it. I also don't make it seem like I'm superior for listening to it.
Nope. Most of the music isn't popular, not because it's obscure, but because it's 15-20 years old (though admittedly, some of it was obscure even then.)
The music that hipsters like is fucking awful.
No, if I was going to be called on, it'd be because I sometimes have a ridiculous beard. I don't dress like one though, so probably not.

I don't like most things that are mainstream, so I sometimes call myself a hipster. Although the reason for not liking them is not that they are mainstream.
These things include but is not limited to:
Listening to music
Drinking alcohol
Watching soccer(I fucking hate soccer)

Im not entirely sure what a hipster is to be honest......
but I fit some things that supposedly qualify people as 'hipster'
-I like gourmet Coffee
-I listen mostly to obscure music
-I search buy retro games every time i go to a convention
-I like to experiment in the kitchen and consider myself a pretty decent cook
-I am a college student and between the ages of 18-21
-I consider myself to be uncool and don't really care....
-I usually wear ruined jeans (I dont buy pants very often), a game or band T-shirt and a good quality hoodie (I use it as a substitute for a winter coat, so it's wind/water resistant).
-I speak in a way that makes people think I'm "trying to sound smart" (I don't do this intentionally)
-I have a tendency to use ironic humor.
But again... I'm not entirely sure on what constitutes as 'hipster'
And it doesn't seem very productive to hate on hipsters anyway; they WANT normal people to hate them because it makes them feel special. Think of them as real-world trolls.

purple and yellow are opposite to each other on the colour wheel. they are complementary colours. When complementary colours are pared together the cool colour ( in this case purple) will add more of a pop to the warm colour(yellow) and the black goes with anything.Yearlongjester said:

I iron my shirts, I have my suits drycleaned, I get my hair cut every month by a barber (not a stylist, not a hairdresser, and not my friend that dropped out of cosmetic school. But a trained, certified, honest to God barber damnit), and I shine my shoes. For all that it costs me less in a month than what these people pay to look like crap. I look as corporate as any man possibly can be and I like that look.
I'm an accountant that plays video games, watchs MLP, I've been buying new music from an LP specialty store for years, but because of the way I look and act I've set myself apart.
So no, I have never been called a hipster.

No. I've never been called a Hipster. A majority of people where I live, tend to go by look alone. So anyone dressed like this, is called a Hipster. Probably more noticeable then anything else, since we don't really have a lot of Hipsters. I'd say there are more 'Greasers' and 'Emos', then anything else here. It's a small town. I'd bet there are quite a few in some of the bigger cities, but, I don't really feel like hunting for Hipsters.
