So we all think we know what we're talking about:
- Grown ups just don't understand: TIME's Brief History of THE HIPSTER
Hipsters are the friends who sneer when you cop to liking Coldplay. They're the people who wear T-shirts silk-screened with quotes from movies you've never heard of and the only ones in America who still think Pabst Blue Ribbon is a good beer. They sport cowboy hats and berets and think Kanye West stole their sunglasses. Everything about them is exactingly constructed to give off the vibe that they just don't care... (zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)
- HOW TO BE ONE (courtesy of the internet user generated content)
- Signs you may already be one (including the all important "You dated someone because they knew Kim Gordon" factor)
- Who is the Hipster of the decade?
- Totally not Ukrainian. Totally not a Timbaland fan. Totally a (smug) hipster.
- Before 00s, "Rebellion" used to be way more rebellious
- Ten albums you're too cool to like
- Face-off: Stuff Hipsters Don't Like vs. Stuff Hipsters Hate
- Connecting with humanity is hard but getting upset is really easy
A walk down hipster backlash memory lane:
- Time Out on WHY HIPSTERS NEED TO DIE
- AdBusters on HIPSTERS BEING THE DEAD END OF HUMAN CIVILIZATION
- PopMatters on WHY HIPSTER HATRED KNOWS NO BOUNDS
- We could all just blame Garden State for everything (come on, it's easy)
And don't forget, one day, everyone (sort of) grows up:

What if you only like one song by Coldplay? Also I have a cowboy hat and am not a hipster and will kick anyone in the Spirochaete who says I am.
Too old to be a hipster? Aspire to be a "yupster" . . . .
Maria, that is exactly where that "grizzly bear" onesie link is leading you to
anyone who isn't using 'alt' by now is being hopelessly overt

overt the top, maybe
If you name your bike and rock a stache, that is one thing. But when you become a vegetarian just be one, that is when you are fucking worthless. And this whole Wolf Kid thing has got to go.
