same, but I still find it strange how some people wear cold-weather clothes in 80-degree weather and still manage to look like they're holding it together (and somehow their innards haven't liquefied and dripped down their leg).

He gave me these examples of what constitutes being a hipster...

My attire that evening
Jazz
Beanies
PBR
Serious girlfriends
Record collections
Bookshelves
Ten speed bikes
Aviator glasses
Scarves
Mustaches
Beards
Drinking coffee multiple times a day
Poetry
Old technology
Converse shoes
Glasses

I have bolded the terms that refer to me. Now, I have hated the term "hipster for a long time now. Not because it has been used a hundred times to describe me, but rather because I feel it is starting to get really f*cking loose with its use. Apparently if you do anything besides work out, listen to EDM, drink in bars every night, or watch the same action films over and over again...you're a hipster. I've even found with my cousin/roomate, who shares the exact opposite qualities as I do, that even discussing the themes and symbolism behind a film is grounds for being a hipster (We watched Animal Kingdom earlier and he hated it because it was boring).

So what constitutes being a hipster now? If I order a pizza, is that being a hipster? What if I mail a letter? Will listening to the radio in my car be deemed hipster worthy anymore? I'm not trying to be defensive. I have serious hipster roots but since when does wearing jeans and a f*cking flannel shirt declare me as being a snobby hipster douche?

Look at this picture I found when I Google image searched "hipster"

WHAT IN THE F*CK IS WRONG WITH THE SECOND GUY ON THE LEFT? THAT IS BASICALLY ME. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT? I can understand the guy on the right but the others look completely normal to me. They look like guys.

If you called this guy a hipster I would totally agree.

I just don't understand anymore. Thoughts?

Eddie Vedder called and he wants his shirt back.

Of course the shirtless guy in the luchador mask would say that.

You just be glad the image is cropped.

Suits are lingerie for women's eyes.
