Do not underestimate hipsters or the damage they inflict on a culture collectively.

Example: Hipsters buy iphones because they are trendy when most of them (not 100%) actually would have been better off buying some other device to satisfy their needs (some other smart phone that doesn't have absurd software restrictions, maybe a small laptop.)

Hipsters now try to justify their purchase by pressuring others into buying other apple products with the promise of being trendy. As the fad catches on it validates the hipster.

The company (in this example apple) determines they can establish a marketing strategy to pander to these people and make considerable profits off of them while gaining marketshare simply by deploying products with stupid features that obfuscate as much of what actually happens in the device as possible.

As the market share increases, you start noticing more and more people sending you PDF files in your office that are mostly just single image files wrapped in a PDF, or a short list or memo that should have been in a text file. This is happening because as more people use products designed for the hipsters, they become less and less aware of the technology they are using, and how to use it properly.

After rejecting said PDF mails for months, one day some one sends you a .webarchive, you then completely flip out, grab your ak-47 put on a ski mask and go to the nearest school spraying bullets into the wall then taking your own life in a rather tragic turn of events.

Hipsters will never go away, and like bacteria in your digestive system, they do play an important role. But efforts must be made to suppress them whenever they start multiplying out of control or start spreading to areas that they have no business being around.

I feel like the OP is entirely too serious for the subject material.

Am I the only person here who people regularly identify as hipster? I don't think of myself as one, but everyone else does, so maybe i can explain a few things to you.

I have a collection of baller sunglasses, I wear tighter fitting clothes, im super skinny, I am up to date with culture, and my favorite bands are bands that none of you have ever heard of (or if you have, props to you! Long live Ed Sharpe & Magnetic Zeroes, Deadmau5, and Radiohead!). I hang out with kids who wear ironic t-shirts and flannel. I wear colorful clothes mixed with preppy clothes, but I buy all of them at goodwill. I buy 7$ organic crackers at whole foods. I don't shop at target after that whole emmer thing (MN politics, you don't have to care to get my point). I drink PBR (actually i'm moving to hams, you can get a 30 pack here for like 18 bucks and its not bad beer).

I guess, yeah, maybe you could call me hipster. I don't understand why so many people have such a problem with this. I'm not hurting anyone by being ironic; in fact, i think the OP is probably the biggest hipster in the world. This is EXACTLY the sort of thread a hipster would not make, which means that its almost inevitable that one would make it. Is the whole ironic thing making more sense?

and to all the people who think hipsters are rich as fuck: LOL. you CLEARLY do not know any of my friends. we're all poor as balls. I couldn't even afford books for school this year.

I hate hipsters cause I'm at NYU. Hipsters every where.

I hate hippies cause I lived in Boulder. Hippies everywhere.

People tell me I'm a bit of both D:

Anybody who uses the term hipster is a hipster or an old person. If you hate hipsters you are a hipster.

I think "tnkted" may have justified this entire thread.
