I'm not sure if you were talking about me specifically but I never stated that I didn't want to be called a hipster.

If you called me a fanny foo foo I'm not going to tell you you can't, but that doesn't mean I think it makes sense.

I don't give a sh*t people call me a hipster. Hell, I have some hipster qualities. I just don't understand why these qualities are connected with the term now. It seems like everything is hipster presently. Pretty soon, going to the gym is going to be hipster.

Also, if you felt I wrote an essay about it, you should read more. That wasn't an endurance test.

i was talking about you specifically and regardless of whether you say you don't want to be called a hipster i am reading that you definitely don't want to be called a hipster from your posts

Sorry Mr. Debate. Didn't realize you weren't in the mood to discuss something.

Whether I stated it or not is the whole point. I didn't state it. I don't care if you guys call me a hipster. It literally means nothing. It just so happens to be a huge part of the present day vernacular and I don't find any logic in most of it. I haven't complained about it whenever it's mentioned in the member picture thread. I just brought the topic up. It doesn't make sense to me.

you brought the topic up specifically when you felt the definition i posted didn't apply to you

i'm sorry man but i know how to read between the lines. i don't know why you think i need you to state something explicitly in order for me to infer that sentiment from your posts

If you backed out of that any further you'd be in the next town over.

Not quite, but how many people need to ask "why do you care so much" before you admit you actually do?

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

I said it right in my first post.

You're right. Two people on the internet called me out on what they think I think. I should just accept that.
