Awful indie bands love hipsters because they know that no matter how unappealing their music is, they'll always have an audience.

Someone who spends the majority of their mental energy devising* ways to superficially convey a sense of individuality and indifference towards the world.

Good morning Cybr

Melbourne being the oh-so-fashion-conscious city it is is riddled with hipster kids - you go out and you see the local fashionista out with their mismatched clothing, tightly stiled (misspelled due to GS and their obscure censoring) hair and pencil moustaches - all too cool for school. Just a fad really.

I always thought a good early reference point for hipster chic is Nathan Barley (worth checking out on youtube). It was 2005, but you know it still stands up y'know...

Pitchfork are rubbish/ you're wrong. They still make better music than most of those bands you listen to. Jog along little boy.

I just don't like you, fanboy.

Why not? Just because I don't like a band you like? Pretty ridiculous logic there.

Implying I'm a hipster because I listen to these so called hipster bands such as Animal Collective. I'm far from hipster, I'm normal.

Good evening, Poptart.

What is your favorite color of scarf to wear in 80 degree weather?

What are you insinuating Evan? :P

Generally it has to be sub 50 to consider wearing a scarf, however at a push I would don something akin to this:

I'm not sure - alas I'm not clever enough to pick up on hidden semantics. I do however enjoy attempting to decipher your cryptic posts, like you're OT's resident crossword

I don't need to name names... Go to any 'overrated' thread, and they all come out of hiding.. Also, when anything popular is mentioned as well...

The first time I heard the word "Hipster", I thought it was someone with a hip fetish.

They pretend to like things that aren't cool, so that they don't "conform" to society.

Max's School of Hipster might help a little.
