they have the mentality of sheep
no original ideas of their own they just copy the crowd ( who all live around the hoxton area )
look pretty standardised
have no dress sense and wear stupid clothes
they jump on the latest crazes and flit in and out of them in regular 3 - 6 month cycles

For bonus points, what makes someone a troll or not?

they did have fixed gear bikes as their de riguer last month but have moved on en masse and are now riding old 80's geared bikes or raleigh shoppers

Did someone say sheep?

dons velcro gloves

oooh 'er balki getting a good grip huh !

@Mech

great thread so far, well done all.

the reason there aren't any replies is that most people on this forum are hipsters, and are keeping quiet, in case someone singles them out.

but Nimbles, I saw you at west beers for the geekhouse presentation. You're a hipster too. Albeit one at the head of the hipster curve.

Tubs or clinchers?

i'm flattered, but we both know you mock me gently. i'm a middle-aged company director who lives in a small village in surrey.

having a forum name in the first place!

Hipsters need to conform with whatever's going at any one time. They don't have to do it well*, they just have to do it.

*key detail

To achieve the current hipster look, simply roll up every sleeve and trouser leg on your person and get a blind homeless to cut your hair.

Short back & sides seems all the rage at the minute.

Anyone who refers to themselves as a "hipster" is a knob.

Same goes for referring to yourself as a goth, emo, hippy, fuckin whatever.

You decided to "be" this thing, and went to the shop to buy it. Cool fail.
