are you a hipster?

If you are, would you admit it?

[OriginalGeek]

1. I'm not convinced a hipster can admit it

I think a goodly sized portion of being a hipster is being completely oblivious to one's hipsterness even while pointing and laughing at others for being hipsters. I think the second one realizes one has hipster tendencies the hip just drains away like impurities from a leach field...only to be absorbed by surrounding hipsters in the never-ending hipster circle of life.

2. I'm past the point where I can deny it.

I'm like the example everybody around me points to and says "fucking hipster"

3. I like film cameras.

I own two Kodak Brownie Hawkeye cameras, I clip 120 rolls down with a fingernail clipper to fit, and I develop the film myself.

Oh, I also like Polaroids, and have been known to buy products from http://www.lomography.com and http://www.the-impossible-project.com. My Polaroid Super Shooter is maybe the most "hipster" camera I have.

But no, I swear to you, I'm too old to be a "hipster" and I have never bought an Apple computer. But I have found some nice ones on the curb with "FREE" signs on them. Last time I plugged it in my SE/30 still worked.

7. Debian all the way here.

On computers I recovered from the trash.

But I don't shave nothing. The buzz cutter is never set to less than five.

8. Does owning an Apple computer make one a hipster?

If so, then I will fess up.

[gejohnston]

14. Nawwww

it means you have good taste. Once you go Mac, you never go back.
I have Linux, so I guess that makes me a nerd?

[Sekhmets Daughter]

17. Perfect...thanks!

I am so clueless with computers...my mac is easy enough for even me to use! I have never cared for pigeonholing people... but I guess some do. It was an interesting video.

[Wait Wut]

5. Nope, but...

...back in Chicago I was most definitely a yuppie. I've discovered you can take the yuppie out of the urban, but you can't take the urban out of the yuppie.

6. I am a hipster!!!!!

Thus, proof that I am not

9. Sometimes people think I'm a hipster.

The truth is, I'm the kind of person they're ironically making fun of.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. I am a total geek.

[hibbing]

11. not me

Hey,
I'm too old to be a hipster, but I was a punk in my younger days, yipee!

Peace

12. PBS, meh

13. Too many hipsters are assholes. I'm a nerd...

Computer, games, science, math, nature, nerdy nerdy nerd. I find hipsters are too often assholes.

[gejohnston]

15. Not many hipsters in my neck of the woods

if any. I'm a nature and books nerd myself.

16. Don't know what I am

However, at some points I was considered a trend setter.
Where I show something months to a year before it becomes cool, thus inspiring geekdom.

Perhaps I may be a hipster if one considers those who takes from different sources and adopts something cool, before discarding it once it becomes mainstream and over-run by geeks(even if I am a self proclaimed geek in certain things).

Still, if it is only in regards to dress, I can't help it, my work tends to keep me in a suit and tie, so that's about all I wear.
I also only go for solid colors and pinstripes. I avoid anything that shows an icon or brand name.

So, I guess I might not be a hipster, but a self proclaimed snob.

[gejohnston]

18. or simply your own person?

who doesn't buy into any labels?

[Xyzse]

19. That too!

[datasuspect]

20. i'm a grownup

[fizzgig]

21. i'm surprised no one has ever accued me of being one

i've got the shaggy hair and thicker black glasses with rhinestones on them, i shop at thrift stores and often look like i got dressed in the dark.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

22. Why did the hipster burn his mouth?

He ate pizza before it was cool.

[gejohnston]

I'll have to remember that.
