What is your definition of a "hipster?"

Hipsters are the people who wear vintage clothes and listen to indie rock right? They seem to be everywhere now. I like that look though. The clothes are cute.

By that definition, I suppose I'd be a "hipster" then. I wear vintage clothing and listen to Indie music.

Certainly Not Dcutie |

People have called me a "hipster" but I don't like being labeled.

Wikipedia:
In the 1990s, the 1940s slang term hipster began being used to describe a North American subculture of young, well-educated urban middle class and upper class adults with leftist or liberal social and political views and a shared interest in a non-mainstream fashion and cultural aesthetic. The hipster scene is often associated with alternative music and "indie" culture ( independent rock and independent film), and other non-mainstream products, such as vintage clothing, 1970s-era vinyl records, magazines such as Vice and Nylon and the Pitchfork Media music website. In North America, hipsters often dress in a campy or ironic manner, in which retro 1970s-style sportswear is mixed with Salvation Army store clothing. The social scene is often centred in a gentrified downtown area where DJ clubs, fair-trade coffee cafés, and organic restaurant sit side-by-side with thrift stores and working class taverns. |

Eh, I like non mainstream movies/music, I collect vinyls, read Nylon, and wear vintage clothes, but I'm definately not hipster.

I hate that all the stuff I love is considered "hipster" now. I've being shopping at thrift stores and listening to non-mainstream music for
years.

Well, if you say so but I don't consider myself a hipster. Perhaps other people do, but I do not.

Lol no, I was just saying that they say exactly what you say. Sorry.
And I'm... I dunno, I dont really consider myself hipster because I'm not really into indie rock or always wear vintage. Plus I'm not really huge on the hipster scene. I dont have a label for myself. shrug |
