Although I score 6 on Mono's list, I'm definitely not a hipster.

I'm NOT a hipster, but I'll fill that checklist.


primarily consisting of white millennials - I was 21 in 2000, so I guess it's "almost".

living in urban areas - Yes, Barcelona

mutating, trans-Atlantic melting pot of styles, tastes and behavior - I haven't lived in the same city for 4 years straight since 2004, including a 4 year stint in NYC. I'm having bagels for breakfast and will make cous-cous for lunch. Tonight I'm attending a concert from a foreign band and tomorrow I'm attending a Catalan folk festival where some friends play. Oh fuck.

is broadly associated with indie and alternative music - I love lots of music, from opera to 70s rock. But nowadays I admit I'm a lot into indie since mainstream music is mostly shit. Wait, did I just say that? Oh crap...

a varied non-mainstream fashion sensibility (including vintage and thrift store-bought clothes) - I buy my clothes as cheap as possible, and that includes thrift stores indeed. And scarves. This isn't going well, isn't it?

generally third party independent political views - I haven't voted a mainstream party since 2004.

organic and artisanal foods - Yes. My mother is a tree-hugger and programmed me with a distaste for processed and non-organic foods.

and alternative lifestyles - I don't have an office job (I'm a freelancer) so my life is chaos and improvisation, which some people get to call "freedom". Does that count?

typically described as affluent or middle class - I would be a pauper in the US, but I'm middle class over here.

young Bohemians - I'm supposedly an artist, but I'm not young, only at hearth

who reside in gentrifying neighborhoods - Yes, I reside in Barcelona's premier hipsterish neighborhood actually... Fuck.


I'm really NOT a hipster. Fuck hipsters.

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.
i never get any credit :( it's because of your typewriter :lol:

Oh God, I forgot about that shit.  Thank you for returning that to our attention.  Get it?  Return.  Ha-ha.  Christ.

I am glad hipsters are around, they add to the local color.  But hipster I am not.

I was proclaiming I wasn't a hipster *before* that was cool.
