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

I am guilty of 6 and I am in no way a hipster. hoodies and vans? A very secure D-lock? A baseball cap?

I think the inability to smile should be on there

I'm also baffled at Vans and hoodies being considered 'hipster'.

These should be replaced with brogues and string vests, respectively.

Very specific Vans and caps though.

I think that I was on between 7 and 9, depending on how many times I counted risers.

The only thing I have there is an old star tattoo from years back. YUSS! Officially uncool.

Looks like murtle's just walked out of my shop!

It's a really shit bingo card. We could do so much better.

Yeah, that card is too easy. Hoodies? Mini-Ds? Risers?

Surely we need:

Lo Pro/pursuit bike
Tweed
Freewheel with no back brake/fixed with no foot retention
650c front wheel
DXs with powergrips
Etc

how does Tweed make you a hipster?

Because most of the people wearing tweed are hipsters, basically. It is being worn on bikes for vaguely ironic reasons.

If anything, other things on my list might be done out of utility and are therefore less hipster-ish than the tweed thing.

Hipsters are in Bournemouth now, riding 10 speeds.

Other than the forum organised Tweed run I don't see many people running around in the stuff these days unless they're genuine old men, genuinely posh or chaps.

I'm sure there are some people that jumped on the bandwagon as it were but I wouldn't say 'most people wearing tweed'.

It's nowhere near as widespread as, for instance, skinny jeans.

Spotted Mr Hip today on my road, deck shoes, rolled up skinny jeans, tote bag, shit haircut.

do you need to roll up skinny jeans to cycle? I thought the whole point was to stop your flapping trouser leg from getting caught in the drivetrain?

The whole point is to fit in down the Old Blue Last.

I've heard of the old blue last but thankfully never been. Just looked on their website and one of their 'partners' is Vice.

Fuck them.

Vice own the place. It's massively wretched, too hot, too loud and too busy.

Old Blue Last's OK, saying that I haven't been in for over 2 yrs

Me neither, bar one occasion, and yes I can concur that it used to be alright.

Ah, but skinny jeans being widespread pretty much takes away the hipster points. They are pretty much at the hipster/passe cross over point and therefore deserve to be on that list no more than - say - iPhones do.

The card is highly, highly contextual and I would argue that tweed, on a bike rider, is pretty hipster-ish. This of course assumes that people would observe the spirit of the card i.e. no points for risers on MTBs/hybrids, hoodies on joggers or New Era caps on thuggish pedestrians.

I don't think so: http://www.tweed.cc/

Skinny jeans are hipstershite unless they're on a woman. iPhones are not hipster, they are truly all-pervasive (if a little geeky - but everyone loves geeks).

Trucker caps, Roy Orbison glasses, stupid hair cuts, stupid 80s shoes, fluoro 80s op-shop jacketshite are hipster. No normal person with any sense would wear them. Well, maybe the dumb haircuts..

trucker caps? are you still living in 2002 hippy?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Don't laugh, that's teenslain.

I still say it should be on there. In that example you'd only be able to get one point for them, as very much doubt that they'll be running Aerospokes/risers/double straps/top-tube pads on their touring bikes.

Like I said, it's all about the cross over point. iPhones have passed it (or perhaps I should have said Apple products in general) and it is my opinion that skinny jeans are approaching it.

You're right about these though, even if "trucker hats" and "stupid haircuts" makes most of Alabama hipsters.

I think these are the Vans in question.


And perhaps these are hipster hoodies??
