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.
