How to Identify a Hipster

I am obsessed with Hipsters. A whole persona dedicated to being cool, its just too much. I'm intrigued. I want to walk a mile in their converse, see what makes them tick. I'm convinced the general hipster population is highly concentrated in St. Paul. When night falls they swarm to the retro old school hang outs just across the river. For this reason I can frequently be found there trying to track down the elusive hipster by following their tell tale signs. These include....


Mustaches...preferably waxed
Hats

Cardigans

Scarves

Over sized Vintage glasses

skinny jeans

arm bands

carries an i phone

Star tattoos


Places to spot Hipsters...

Bowling Alleys

Thai Restaurants

Coffee shops...but no chains!

laundry mats

The Chatterbox

Smokey music rooms

American Apparel

philosophy section of the book store



There are now many famous hipsters too..


Lourdes, Madonna's Daughter


Josh Heartnet




Adam Brody

And the list goes on...


Join me in my hunt for the hipsters. If you see one. Post a photo here!!!

  3. I think you are missing some vital components of the hipster. And they are not elusive, they are spreading like cancer.
