(1) you must shamelessly own a record by the Grateful Dead, Rush, or Yes
(2) guys must have a beard; girls, cut your own hair
(3) you live in an industrial space with a cat
(4) your idea of bonding is dancing in a circle (in a nonsexual way) with your male friends
(5) you like really freaked-out new music like Maurice Fulton's MU project and microhouse
(6) you like Sonic Youth but you hate modern-day jam bands
(7) you prefer your natural smell to deodorant
(8) you won't wear designer tennis shoes but you will wear clothes your fashion designer friends have made
(9) you secretly can do the dance moves from Soul Train but you would never admit to having "moves"
(10) you like Chappelle's Show (actually, forget that one – who doesn't like Chappelle's Show!)

I am evidently the opposite of a TRIPSTER.

What's this, people who live in San Francisco and take so many trips to NYC that they may as well move there???? WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? ;)

I grew up amongst these people. Boy does their cooking suck.

probably local music fans.

perhaps the single worst thing about blogging is how it has encouraged the tireless etymologizing of pop cultural 'trends'. do these people honestly think of themselves as armchair sociologists and not professional dick wavers? i honestly can't think of anything more smug or tedious than deciding to name a subset of people. fuck off already.

haha i have JUST now clicked on the link to read who actually wrote that. there goes any freelance hopes with xlr8r then.

― mark p (Mark P), Friday, 23 April 2004 17:40 (twenty-one years ago)

otm. though you set up 'armchair sociologists' as being preferable to professional dick wavers.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 23 April 2004 17:42 (twenty-one years ago)

You can be a professional dick waver as opposed to just a weekend dick waver? What does that line of work pay?

Well Danielle, I'm sorry If you're a hipster and I offended you, but to answer your questions...

1) True, not everyone in Williamsburg is a hipster. There are down to earth normal people here, and I am also good friends with the owners of the local delis and bars. But it's the abundance of hipsters that is disturbing. Don't tell me that you don't agree with the general consensus that Williamsburg, Brooklyn is the Nexus of hipsters in the world.

2) My definition of a hipster? Ok.

a) You look retarded
b) You need to shave and get a haircut badly
c) You wear stupid looking glasses which you don't actually need to see
d) You take useless majors at colleges
e) You listen to crap music and think it's cool because no one else has heard of it
f) You buy $150 Puma sneakers but you buy the rest of your wardrobe at the Salvation Army
g) You move into Williamsburg because you want to be with the rest of the hipster crowd
h) You take a shower once a month
i) Your full time job is promoting your band on myspace or working as a record store clerk
j) You wear pants tight enough to cut off circulation to your balls

Does that answer your questions? If not, feel free to contact me.

Steve Shasta hasn't been to Atlanta lately. In the past year it's turned into a nice little nexus itself.

I also say Tripsters should always roll their own tobacco, cos not only is it cheap and something people do in jail, but it helps when someone needs to roll a J. Which for a Tripster could be quite often.
