Those were the "dark times" back when Eiffel 65, 98 Degrees, N' Sync, Backstreet Boys, and Creed were topping the charts, five years before Nickelback's "Photograph" would drive hundreds of millennials to kill themselves in agony. At the time, the "hipsters" of mockery and memes were then in organic cotton diapers and still had training wheels on their penny-farthings.

I bought my first Underwood Series 4 typewriter in 2001, and had amassed a ridiculous collection of knit and crocheted 12-ft scarves by 2003, just as hipsterdom was coming into its own.

Fortunately, I needn't worry about my style being co-opted by a generation of art-house coffee snobs. The hipster scene has come and gone. The NEW scene, according to the list-obsessed, long-form-article killer - Buzzfeed, is the Yuccies. I suppose this means I am free to flaunt my usual trademarked style - as it will surely be regarded as ironic in the "post-hipster" age.

Quite simply, I am the Meta-Hipster.

Ah, so you did all the hipster stuff before it was cool. That's different then.

My obsession with the Kurdish people has advanced to another level.

I didnt mean that offensively rather do you actually define yourself that way. Guess I should have said that.:\

Are there actually people who define themselves as hipsters? I always thought nobody does that and that's what's funny about the whole thing.

No offense taken; I just enjoyed having a bit of fun with it.

Absolutely! Hence my self-identifying as the "Meta-Hipster!"

Lisa Borodkin, a resident of Williamsburg had an interesting perspective in response to this very question. I highly recommend it for a more positive framing of the subculture.
