I do believe posting in this thread has insured that I am in fact part of this discussion. A more pressing question is why so aggressive?

I am a special kind of hipster though. Pure and free.

hipster need not be a bad term

people hate being lumped into a group but actually there is power in numbers

people could learn a thing or two from ants

^problem with that, exo, is that every hipster that ever existed also claimed to be d original

in fact, striving for originality but still falling within a general demographic is an essential part of hipsterdom imo

but then i am going beyond google/god's definition, so i will tread lightly

So if I conform to what's popular, I'm a hipster.
If I strive to be original and my own person, I'm a hipster.

That's not fair.

Do you know how many people that encompasses? Everybody can't be a hipster. F*ck, I don't even care that I'm called one. I just don't understand the definition of what constitutes one. The whole "hipster" image has been so skewed over the last seven or eight years that literally ANYBODY can be one.

Suddenly wearing any shirt that isn't the predetermined 3% of clothing nowadays that isn't considered "cool" constitutes being a hipster. Liking Apple is being a hipster. Liking old media is being a hipster. Driving an old car cause you're poor is being a hipster. Getting glasses is hipster. Growing facial hair is hipster.

FACIAL HAIR HAS BEEN GROWING ON FACES SINCE THE DAWN OF FUCKING TIME. IT MAKES ZERO SENSE TO CONNECT THAT WITH HIPSTER-DOM.

Unless of course, the facial hair person is only doing it to be cool, which he'll never admit too, so we're left with making assumptions about people which is fucking annoying and basically witch hunting.

This wasn't directed at you that much JWB. It's more of a rant.

Also, I need glasses cause I'm f*cking blind. I did not do it to be cool.

It's fair. Just be yourself.

If you like popular things than participate in them but don't do it because it's popular. If you go out of your way to be original just to stand out you're probably a 15 year old emo kid.

However, I don't consider myself "not" a hipster.

I said it right in my first post.

no... conforming to the mainstream isn't really hipster imo... it refers more to counter cultural trends

again, to quote googlegod:

a person who follows the latest trends and fashions, especially those regarded as being outside the cultural mainstream.

The whole thing just seems totally unfair to people. It's a childish thing if you really think about it, like we're in High School with cliques again.
