Newfag here. Trying to understand /b/ meant understanding its terms, so I went to Urban Dictionary hoping to refine my mental image of a "hipster"

One of the most repped definitions included this:

Can be recognized by books like "The Clockwork Orange", "Everything is Illuminated", or obscure philosophy books, by authors akin to Dostoevsky.

The last part especially riled me; I was just wondering how many of you follow the reasoning Russian+19th Century-------->Obscure, and count Dostoevsky, and "authors akin to him", as hipster curiosities.

pic related, it's me

Russian authors are not obsucure. And also
>Using urban dictionary
>thinking the word hipster has meaning.
wow, I'm... just wow.

Also, just leave /b/ right now and go elsewhere. The place is a shithole.

Everything in this post.

I also find it amusing that whoever wrote that article thinks The Clockwork Orange and Dostoevsky are 'obscure', Dostoevsky is probably THE most recognised Russian author in western countries. I guess 'I'm uncultured swine and don't read, so don't know any foreign authors' means any none American literature is 'obscure hipster book'.
