What is a hipster? Look at this fucking hipster...

Now I'm concerned I might be a fakenger. Whilst riding my bike to the shops earlier I rolled my jeans up so they wouldn't get caught in the chain. Luckily I was wearing my nike rather than converse (didn't want wet feet) and put my beer in the back pockets of my jacket rather than in a bag. I was however wearing my cycling cap.

Being overly concerned you might be a fakenger means you are one.

A valid point from fc9k... But are'nt we all fakengers?

If you have a courier bag and ride a fixed wheel, are'nt you a fakenger? So I think that is about 90% of us...

I don't have a messenger bag. Thank goodness for that.

Ha.

The thing a lot of people don't get is that 90% of the stuff that marks you out as a "messenger" is just common sense. I wear jeans that get tatty at the bottom, ergo I roll my right leg up so it doesnt get caught and force me into a bus. Likewise I have a "courier bag", because its the most convenient way to carry my stuff on the bike. Do I look like a hipster? Probably. Do I care? No. Just stop worrying and get out and ride tbqfh.

Great acronym :)

I have come to the conclusion that I am definitely a hipster. Anyone know of any Hipsters Anonymous meetings?

yes, there's one in london fields most saturdays, or outside the cat and mutton, or at the olive and placenta stall in broadway market. just turn up with your fixed wheel and skinny jeans, evidence that you work in the 'creative industries', and away you go. look for superprecise, he'll be thereabouts, i think he's on step 4 though, where you have tell everyone that you know you are a hipster and all the evil hipster things you have done in your life.

I graduated to hipster. I was a waister (sic) before that.

Great acronym :)

i cant figure it oWT! what does it mean?!?! GAH!

I may be completely wrong, but I guessed it as a rather profane and sardonic expansion of TBH

He's a complete sod... It's his way... A total puppy dog 'til you show him an Arrospok... Grrrrrr...

"so ironic it's not, so unironic it is"

that is gold.

where's the "fixie hipster" bingo thingo gone? with arrospoks, girls' jeans and njs gear?

NJS gear = hipster ?

NJS gear = hipster ?

Somethin' like that... Don't worry, I'll buy your lightly-used NJS stuff off ya once the bottom's fallen out of the market... I'm good like that... ;)

old. this is played often at work. still hilarious.

here's one

I used to pour cold water on the hipsters who used to stand outside my flat until 1 - 2 in the morning talking the upmost bollox. They used to drink in a pub called the Talbot in De Beauvoir, right next door to where I used to live. I guarantee you will not find a pub more full of self-obsessed coked up hipster cnuts than this place. I used to have great fun throwing crap at them from my roof terrace.

But I am slighlty insane mind. One episode ended in about 8 blokes trying to smash down my front door.

if you work in the arts or design or the media and are under 50 you are probably a hipster
