What is a hipster to you? i live in clapham yes, ride deeps v's and wear vans and cages am i a hipster?[/quote]
I think you're only a real hipster if you're snobbish towards people who haven't got deep-vs.
the above quote was just a bit of an off-hand mickey-taking comment, but the hipster thing isn't all about bikes, for instance there's a pub in Tooting that used to be quite rough, it re-opened all ponsed up and lots of trendy young people appeared in it, some of my friends said "where have all these hipsters appeared from?"
"If you build it they will come" someone else said.
I'd rather go to that pub with the hipsters (even if they do wear scarves and caps indoors, with t-shirts) than the more "earthy" type of regular that used to frequent there..
