I am gunna make a serious answer to this. When I first toyed with the idea of getting a road bike I knew I wanted it SS (after riding that on MTB). I posted up a pic of a Bianchi Pista on a mate's forum and immediately got labelled a 'Williamsberg Hipster Cunt' by a New York dwelling mate. I didn't have a clue and think googling it found me this forum ('What is a Hipster' thread, and the Hipster Olympics YouTube vid). I since bought a fixed bike, and have hung out here, met some riders, ridden my bike, read fixed mag, watched a load of vids and have come to this conclusion:
There is no hipster. They're a fucking myth, just a reactionary term to slag off a group of disparate people
