The thing I was getting at was more self realization. I didn't plan to dress this way or like the things I like because I felt I should in order to fit in or make myself look cool. I like the things I like. Just like you or anybody else does. Do those things make me hipster? Apparently they do. I just don't understand any of the reasoning behind it and I was discussing it openly.

If everybody decided to call dogs chickens, eventually dogs would just be called chickens and that'd be the end of it. You become the minority if you don't call them chickens. What I'm saying is that I just don't see the reasoning on why everybody is calling dogs chickens.

EDIT: I'd also like to acknowledge that I explained myself rather poorly during this entire ordeal.

I agree with that. That's good psychology.

My point, which you finally came to in your last post, was that if everybody does that, then everybody is a hipster, but that isn't the case. This person is a hipster and that person over there is not. Why? Because people say so. Even if everybody WAS a hipster, the term would lose all meaning.

This is why it just doesn't make sense to me.

hipsters are people who derive influence from prominent counter cultures and stay on the cutting edge within said cultures
