Alright, let's just fucking get this over with already. This thread is to determine how much of /lit/ are hipsters (and if I were to conjecture, a lot, as most other people don't read) so the topic can stop polluting other threads.

oh and don't be all 'real hipsters wouldn't admit it' or some bullshit like that, this is an anonymous image board.

Just respond with if you are and to what extent; I'll start:
I read books, listen to hipster music, and my wardrobe consists of tight jeans and plain shirts (I wouldn't be caught dead in something name-brand).

I look like a hipster and partake in hipster activities. Unlike hipsters though, I actually enjoy the music I listen to, the books I read and the movies I watch. I wear the clothes because I like them.

Call me a hipster if you want, but I'm just doing what makes me happy.

I'm somewhat hipster, I'll admit it. I don't listen to the music, and don't wear the clothes, but most of the people I meet and get along with in bars are clearly hipster, and I also read a lot, which apparently is a hipster thing to do. My attitude or personality I guess is pretty hipster. A lot of girls I date and/or fuck are hipster. I hate PBR. I drink Blue Moon, Shiner Boch (Texas-brewed dark beer) or Budweiser. Also I have no social or environmental conscience, which is incredibly unlike hipsters, who are generally vainglorious about their attempts to somehow be progressive or world-caring.

Hi there!
You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

I've got hipster taste in music (ie I agree with pitchfork a lot) But I also love dadrock and post punk.
I read "high lit" books. I also sometimes read hipster authors like Bret Easton Ellis.
Sometimes I look like a hipster, but only when the shirts are plain. Most of the time I look like a gamer geek.
I also sometimes feel smugly superior to the "sheep" around me, but I realize this is a bad character trait and am trying to correct this.

This will probably sound hipster but I'll say it anyways.

I hate that they steal things that were funny to me at one point or something I did and make it their own and take it public. For instance the Three wolf moon shirts and the giant furry hat like in. >>945250
Those were things that before they were hipster I liked and thought were funny, though I don't feel like I flaunted it in public. I wore a giant furry hat in the winter from about 8 years old to about 14. I got this because my dad loved the episode of Seinfeld with it and bought one for me for Christmas. The three wolf moon shirt reviews on Amazon were hilarious but I'd never wear one in public, but now its becoming hipster too.

I'm definitely a hipster by most people's standards. I listen to independent music (post-punk, new wave, lo-fi, chillwave, krautrock, you name it), shop predominately at Am Appy and UO, wear skinny jeans, plain tees, flannels, and ray-bans, and read Vice Magazine.
However, the other side of me, the one that I don't show, is the part of me that listens to classical music, from all periods, and jazz-fusion (like, the pretty corny stuff. Think Billy Cobham/ Return to Forever). And while I do read Pynchon, Wallace, Camus, and all the other writers typically found in a hipster's library, I usually read whatever the hell I want to,regardless of whether it makes me look cool.

Those are the places that these attitudes are most prevalent. Hipster has just become a new way of defining this attitude and the associated cultures it spawns. Those areas long before now(Particularly San Francisco) were places of rather high social standing in the minds of the residents and considered to be trendy and individualist. Thus in turn they brought people who thought that following individualist trends would make them seem cool and a cycle was born. Now a few real innovators essentially drive changes in style that are quickly followed by the group from those areas so that the individuals in the group can say that they did it first and they are the most individualist in order to gain social standing. It spreads outwards from there to "trendy" people usually in their early twenties in other areas of the US as they too want to seem like the first to do something amongst their friends without seeming like a complete social outcast. Thus they follow the culture of these "trendy" areas more closely.

I'm not sure if this is making sense as this is a stream of consciousness but that's my thoughts.

25 years old, Female.

I wear contacts but I have black plastic rim glasses for my eye strain.

I am a non-traditional college student and my major is English.

I drive a Honda Accord 2000 Special Edition.

I like Urban Pop, Pop/Rock, Alternative and Classic Rock.

I read genre fiction authors like Stephen King.

My fashion sense depends on my financial situation, I wear suits, sportcoats, dress shirts and button-ups when I can afford them. I wear yoga pants, t-shirts, hoodies and Airwalks when I'm cheap.

I own a Dell Inspiron 1501 that is falling apart. I keep replacing parts because I'm too cheap to afford a new laptop. The CD-R drive on this fucker doesn't work anymore and I have to tilt it at an angle when I start it up so the BIOS can find the drive.

That doesn't sound too hipster.

I've been accused of it plenty of times, usually because I care about my clothing and link people to faggy music. My dress style is tight shirts and leather jackets, slim jeans. I also wouldn't be caught dead in a shirt with a massive name written all over it, that's ugly. I listen to absolutely every genre of music, from Brokencyde to A Perfect Circle, from Taylor Swift to Nevermore. I enjoy reading books and watching films of every category.

I read genre fiction.

I consider myself more of a music/indie-culture-specific nerd than a hipster. Yeah, I read the books, listen to the music, drink the occasional pbr. but I'm way too broke and non-ana to really live that kind of lifestyle.

of course in my town the hipsters are a small clique skinny fashion/music conscious people who genuinely think they're better than people regardless of taste or intelligence.

I've been to towns however where there's a big enough hipster population that it feels more natural.

i wear plain clothes, sometimes basketball clothes (hand me downs), and sometimes when feeling extra douchey wear these girl sunglasses. i read books (mostly classics) and enjoy them usually. i watch and listen to teaching company lectures i pirated. i watch curb your enthusiasm and sometimes animaniacs. also, browse the tv sometimes. know quite a bit about indie music but most the info is old, as i don't listen to music too much anymore, except for classic public radio and entry level jazz. don't have a facebook or anything like that (used to use last.fm though) and don't text or use the phone often.

I don't know what I am. I wear normal-fitting cargo pants and both name-brand and plain shirts (hey, brand shirts honestly do feel better to wear than plain all the time), my choice of music is certainly not hipster (Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, Bob Dylan, King Crimson), but I am something of an audiophile since I buy (and listen to) vinyl records and own 100+ dollar headphones. Also, my choices in literature are rather hipster-esque, my favorite authors being Pynchon, Joyce, and Kafka. But unlike hipsters, I actually read the books I get instead of using them to look deep.

I'm so much of a hipster that I wore huge sunglasses and ridiculous incongruous clothing several years before it became popular, like in the late 90s. I was doing things ironically when they were still popular non-ironically, anticipating the future ironic counter-trends. I also listened to animal collective when I was in high school, stopped listening to it when Sung Tongs came out because it was too mainstream, and stopped listening to all indie rock when Funeral came out because the entire genre had become mainstream. From 2005, I just listened to the most hardcore gangster rap I could find, ironically of course, and classic rock or "dad rock". Then I got sick of all music and just started watching anime and listening to anime music and going on 4chan.

All this made everyone hate me. So I've resolved to do whatever's cool at the moment so people like me from now on.

I wear Levi's 511 jeans, and my shirts right now are mostly from American Apparel (not the faggy v-necks, just their plain crew shirts), one UO shirt (it has Ol Dirty Bastard on it), and a striped shirt and plaid shirt from American Eagle. I also have a few AA shirts. But I don't go out because I have no friends, so most of my time is spent walking around my house in my underwear.

I have shoulder length hair, don't wear sunglasses ever because they're obnoxious, don't wear any glasses except my prescription ones when I'm driving, play lots of video games, and read a book every couple weeks. I don't read hipster philosophy, mostly classic fiction and YA fiction (I nostalgia hard at it because reading was all I did in elementary and middle school and I wouldn't mind writing YA fiction when I'm older). I listen to a combination of indie rock, rap of the roc-a-fella variety, and melodic death metal/folk metal.

I'm an English/Biology double major at a liberal arts college and plan to become a physical therapist. My laptop is an HP Envy 14.

I would rate myself 33% hipster, but just because we share some interests. I don't hang out with any and they tend to get on my nerves.
