But haven't you seen my beard, glasses, and beanie?

Maybe because I haven't seen your beanie, it might radically change everything...
But your beard and glasses look just like a normal beard and normal glasses.

If he was twenty years older they wouldn't be saying hipster.

Yeah, that anyway.
One might call you and Exo (and me, by extension) hipster for liking weird music and films. (And, let's not kid ourselves, you also have a moustache.)
I always thought hipsters were defined as some kind of wannabe who likes stuff that he considers weird but is actually liking pretty mainstream things with the selling point of being apparently weird.
Plus all that fashion with skinny jeans, lumberjack shirts and whatnot.

If there were only a set of rules that we can abide by. It's just so goddamn hard to keep up with. I buy a f*cking nice pair of sunglasses and all of a sudden they're hipster glasses. It's stupid.

The way I see it: If you're comfortable with you, you're not hipster, you're you.

Exo

Right, but there are examples where somebody should definitely be labeled a hipster.



That guy is a f*cking hipster.

The only sunglasses I can imagine being hipster are extremely ugly sunglasses that are being worn ironically.
For example those round ones.

Damn, I used to wear those...

You means these?



If so, that's what I was talking about. Not too long ago, these glasses were bought because they were cheap and did the f*cking job. Now if I buy a cheap pair of sunglasses at a highway rest stop, I'm making a fashion statement. I can't win.
