What is a hipster?

I'm slightly concerned that I don't know what it is so might be one.

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.

According to 'the kidz', I'm a 'rad dad'... I hate hipsters and hip stuff, which probably makes me one...
Didn't Norman Mailer coin the term? 'White negro', 40s NY jazz thang...
Skinny jeans apparently (Shudder)...

hipsters are essentially phonies; bogus, intellectually bankrupt whores.

Hold on pj... I'm pretty sure I've seen a picture of you recently sporting an outfit that matched the rather rad BMX you were riding.

Thanks mate. I forget these things, never really done much html so forget the slash convention that this forum clearly follows.

I used to wear hipsters many, many years ago, well, they were more like ballsters... Pubes hangin' out the top and everyfink...
The girls loved 'em, looked great onstage...
Used to make 'em out of 70s flares on the old Bernina... DIY 60s chic...
I'll get my frock coat... ;)

I used to call em bumsters because if it wasn't for my shirt my ass would be on show. I used to get mine made by Chris the tailor near carnaby street.

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...

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.

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.
