You're probably a hipster.
We all hate hipsters, right? They seem so smug and arrogant, with their ray bans and scarves and ironic t-shirts. Even those who CLEARLY ARE hipsters still recoil at the label. Embracing irony over earnestness, the key to hipsters is not just what they enjoy, but how they enjoy it. Borrowing from other subcultures, (see: Handlebar mustaches and flannel shirts), hipsters reappropriate these fashion elements as their own. But don't we all do that? Our own fashion came from SOMEWHERE, and certainly has been refined. Do we all have a little bit of hipster blood in us?

I thought Hipsters were the people that were like "I did that before it was popular" with a snarky attitude.

Jeez... I never thought of myself as a hipster... but after watching this video.. my life could be summed up as "eclectically out of the loop". I have no idea whats going on half the time in culture, and i sorta just pick out the things from various cultures i like and roll with it. just what ive always done because i dont really fit into any one in particular.. interesting

rule one of being a hipster, deny you are a hipster.

Even watching this video I still do not know what a "hipster" is. To me it seems that hipsters are just "posers" who pretend to be something that they are not because they think it is cool. They act in "Bad Faith" and lack authenticity in their opinions and character. They also tend to be extremely conformist and ride trends.

Hipsters are like bad drivers: they're everywhere, yet no one identifies themselves as one.

Here's an idea: hipsters don't exist.
Once upon a time, when the cool kids didn't understand why someone liked the things they like (particularly games or learning or books, because most of the cool kids were jocks), they'd call them a nerd or a geek; now the nerds and geeks have become cool and so those words aren't insults any more. So this new word, hipster, has the connotation that you not only like things that aren't cool, but you're pretentious about it. It works really well because it's not just an insult to you, but also to the stuff you like, as if no one could possibly like that with sincerity.
Since I've never met anyone who claims to be a hipster, and I've never met anyone who admits to adopting stuff ironically rather than due to enthusiasm, I'm not sure I believe they even exist. No one has any way of telling whether someone actually is just pretending to like a bunch of disparate things unless they tell you so. It's just the latest word to convey disdain when someone is different.

im so hipster i saw that looking like a hipster is to main stream so now i dress normally.

So basically: Subculture is about creating and maintaining a norm within your own group. Hipsterdom is about avoiding creating a norm. This then explains why no hipster wants to be identified as a hipster: because there not being a defining trait of the group is the defining trait of the group. The moment you can identify a hipster, hipsters don't exist?

I've always thought of a hipster as nothing more than arrogant dismissive pretentiousness mixed with overtly niche cultural identifiers, like clothing/accessories, or ideals/philosophies. Key factor being the arrogant pretentiousness.
Problem is, people throw around the word "hipster" at basically anyone they don't like.But in doing so, they paint all the people who simply like what they like for the fuck of it with the same brush as pretentious twats.

Wanna be a hipster? Then click "Read More".
And you failed.
First rule about being a hipster: You cannot intend to be a hipster.

I guess by saying there is a little hipster in everyone, the video is actually saying what I think which is hipsters do not exist. They are the projection screen of capitalism's self loathing, a "them" who is never really realized.
Contradictions of the hipster = 1) they love cheap, crappy beer + they love expensive artisinal beer 2) they wear cheap thrift store clothes + they wear expensive, hip brand names 3) they like old stuff that they never experienced authentically + they like the newest only to the point that it becomes mainstream. 4) they are starving artists + they are trust fund brats, and so on.
I live in Brooklyn. I've never seen a hipster. I only see a lot of people of all different backgrounds and classes mixing together. Why look for random trends to box them in and judge them? It makes no sense.

Basically I hate any music that has come out within the last few years, and my friends call me a hipster. I have also heard of course that hipsters are the ones that "do things before they were cool"... and now this video gives me a completely new idea of what they are. I don't think I will ever understand

Seems like nowadays everyone who wears a checkered shirt is considered a hipster. I'm not. I just like checkered shirts. And wear a beanie because it's cold as hell outside.

Hipsters don't drink Starbucks, draw mustaches on their fingers, or listen to Mumford and Sons. Why? Because all those things fucking suck. Also, no one likes everything ironically. That is ridiculous, and would be way too much work. Hipsters are people, not a type of person, who care about art, fashion, science, philosophy, music, food, drink, politics, and culture and like to consciously experience and create those things in ways that aren't always part of what would be considered "mainstream" culture, because a lot of that culture is based largely on generating profit and reinforcing a status quo, which can be generic and stifling. But that doesn't mean they reject all mainstream culture or like it insincerely. They're people who don't feel at all bad or weird about liking Joy Division, Beyonce, and blogs about tapes from Africa because those things are awesome. If someone likes everything ironically, they're not a hipster, they're just an asshole who's trying too hard. And if you listen to Mumford and Sons, you are my mom.

I find that "hipster" has a couple different definitions. The definition I use is that a hipster is someone who adopts various cultural ideas or items that are considered "cool" and uses these to attempt to fit into the group. Pokemon is popular? They like Pokemon. Sherlock? Now they like Sherlock. Anime? Doctor Who? Are you starting to get my idea? I feel as though hipsters are pretenders, or at the very least "half participants." Let's take a look at me. I'm 26, and have been playing video games since I was 2. I STARTED on the NES. I got picked on, beat up, harassed, and generally made to feel miserable, because I liked games, more than I liked sports. I liked Pokemon, so I was a loser and a NERD. I was berated and belittled for the things I enjoyed and I stuck with them... hipsters haven't or didn't, or were too late to have their love of "X" fandom tested the way many of us did. Therein lies my problem.

I just don't get "hipster". It's so damn ambiguous that it seems for whoever someone doesn't like or agree with, personality or style wise, that they just call them "hipster".

Labels are nice when you want to find individuals that enjoy the same things as you. But at the same time you shouldn't let them stop you from trying new things :)
Diversity is great, just don't do anything that damages another person and have fun broadening your tastes.

It sucks because I'm really into vintage stuff, I read about it and learn so much about. And I like that stuff because I like it. Then hipsters came along and "liked" it and some people say I'm a hipster. But I'm really passionate about vintage stuff, hipsters aren't.

How did the hipster burn his tongue? He ate his dinner before it was cool.
