I always felt hipsters were the new generation of hippies, replacing cheap tie-dyed(sp?) shirts, and sandals with bright colored clothing w/cool designs, skinny jeans and high top shoes. I thought about it some more and discussed with some fellow hipsters and I came to the conclusion that there are very many branches of this so-called "hipster" subculture.<br/>
<br/>
Rule #1: You must have big hips, Just kidding. Okay, for real now.<br/>
<br/>
Hipster is a term aimed towards college students, many of who, are low on funds so when it comes time to purchase new clothing where else can you find affordable clothes? The thrift store, where it may be a little hard to find the right sizes(hence the tight clothes). Background should be considered prior to droppin' the H-bomb. Living with the 'rents = not a hipster(you're not low on funds, youre saving money! Good JOB!). Living on your own, parents are paying for school and/or rent = Hipster. Even if your parents are loaded, many(parents) make you to seek your own funding for food, clothing, and other wants, so you'll be low on funds and fixies are cheap and somewhat effective ways to get around.<br/>
<br/>
Now comes the hard part, differentiating hipsters from fashionistas/fashionistos, cyclists, and the "other" category. Yes these categories can, and will overlap.<br/>
<b>Hipster</b> In often cases does wear skinny jeans, retro/vintage/thrift store clothing, most party, smoke weed and/or cigarettes, drinks affordable beer(PBR's pretty affordable, don't hate), rides a bike(nothing in particular) to get from point A to point B.<br/>
<b>Fashionistas/fasionistos</b> Often confused with hipsters, because of a similar style. Does shop at thrift stores but can also be found in expensive, hipster-esque boutiques(wicker park area specifically). Rides fixed gear /SS bikes that look cool. Drinks similar products as hipsters, but is also willing to throw in a few more bucks to get a bottle 312 or something of higher quality.<br/>
<b>Cyclists</b>Rides a bike for recreational purposes(can also race) and may be in a job that requires bikes(messenger, mechanic, etc). May smoke and drink whatever he/she likes. May have a career/ profession. Interesting people with an awesome hobby. Also includes BMX riders and MTBers.<br/>
<b>Other</b> Includes bike collectors, restorers, and those people i see around my 'hood who ride kmart bikes with rusty chains on the sidewalk.<br/>
<br/>
I fall under all but the last one. This is just made up by me. IMO being hipster is not necessarily a bad thing.</div>
