To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Probably.  I don't know.  I don't have enough social contact to be a hipster.  I think I'm just a nerd.

According to wikipedia -

QuoteHipster is a term popularly used to denote an international subculture primarily consisting of white millennials living in urban areas.[1][2] The subculture has been described as a "mutating, trans-Atlantic melting pot of styles, tastes and behavior"[3] and is broadly associated with indie and alternative music, a varied non-mainstream fashion sensibility (including vintage and thrift store-bought clothes), generally third party independent political views, organic and artisanal foods, and alternative lifestyles.[4][5][6] Hipsters are typically described as affluent or middle class young Bohemians who reside in gentrifying neighborhoods.[7][8]

primarily consisting of white millennials - no

living in urban areas - yes

mutating, trans-Atlantic melting pot of styles, tastes and behavior - probably not

is broadly associated with indie and alternative music - not sure if my music taste is alternative, but my guess is not.

a varied non-mainstream fashion sensibility (including vintage and thrift store-bought clothes) - hell yes, especially the thrift store-bought clothes part

generally third party independent political views - kinda yes

organic and artisanal foods - yes

and alternative lifestyles - if staying home all day watching anime and playing computer games is an alternative lifestyle, then yes.

typically described as affluent or middle class - no way.

young Bohemians - I know where Bohemia is, not I don't think I should interpret the word in a traditional geographic sense.  My guess is no.

who reside in gentrifying neighborhoods - not really.

I have 5 yes out of 11.  So, no, I am probably not a hipster.

I do have third party independent political views.

Well, as long as we can agree on Lithuania and Finland, I don't see why we have to be aggressive toward each other.

People do sometimes say I am trying to be a hipster but I was into many things hipsters like before it became cool to like them.... Which yes, is a very hipster thing to say, but true. On the the hand I haven't stopped liking stuff because it became too mainstream

I don't think I am.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Somebody here called me a proto-hipster once, I think it was Tonitrus.  :mad: I don't consider it hipsterism if I've been doing something for over 20 years.

primarily consisting of white millennials - According to CdM, yes.  Though I was always called a Gen Xer growing up.

living in urban areas - No, not really.

mutating, trans-Atlantic melting pot of styles, tastes and behavior - I'm guessing no.

is broadly associated with indie and alternative music - That's kind of vague.  I'm partial to rock from the 1960's and 70's.

a varied non-mainstream fashion sensibility (including vintage and thrift store-bought clothes) - I bought my shoes at Wal-Mart and my closes come from a fat guy shop down by the lake.

generally third party independent political views - No.

organic and artisanal foods - No.

and alternative lifestyles - I suppose so, though the insane recluse lifestyle has always had adherents.

typically described as affluent or middle class - I don't even have job.

young Bohemians - No.

who reside in gentrifying neighborhoods - No.
