Here they ride track bikes with no brakes. I don't care what style of bike people ride, but I can't tolerate not having brakes.
Must be a regional thing. Here it's what I describe along with those Honda Cubs, AMF Mopeds and Bicycles with very small gas engines bolted to the frame linked to the rear wheel.
I'm trying to integrate hipster into the language as the white equivalent to "Nigga." "Hipsta' please, look'a' dat hipsta w'his Starbucks and Mac -" "Dumb-ass broke Hipsta can't afford ticket to the Gogola Bordello concert, had to settle fo' Ben Folds."
Given enough time, maybe they will learn. In the meantime, you can stave off this plague by bathing, shaving (or trimming professionally) and drinking real beer.
A little know fact is Jesus was a Black Hipster. But back then you did not need the black adjective. Everyone was black. And he did not change water into wine. It was water into PBR.
I'm moving to a loft space in Bushwick with artists, but only for a month.
You will single-handedly start the ironic juggling trend.
FUCK. Just as I start seriously getting interested in juggling (like whoa!), hipsters are poised to ruin this shit. Just like they ruined liking Camus.
Whatevs. I'll juggle anyway. Lord knows I've been called a hipster too many times to care anymore.
Wow, Bushwick really is hipster central. Everything in this thread is true to a scary extent.
Bushwick and Williamsburg are, from what I've gathered, New York's version of Chicago's Wicker Park and Logan Square, and vice versa. Let's all just consider ourselves lucky that hipsters cloister themselves in gentrified neighborhoods that are still grungy instead of just spreading out and corrupting everything.
Also, today a friend called me a hipster for running Linux on a Dell laptop. lol wut
My girlfriend is a hipster. A couple weeks ago she bought me a powder-blue shirt with a rainbow across it, and a bear shirt. When I say "bear shirt," think "wolf shirt" but with a fuckin' bear and "Bear Country, USA" on the arm. And the moon, of course.
Yeah. She's trying to turn me.
Otherwise she's awesome. Science girl, Starcraft 2 killer, good at many... things. But her aesthetic? And a certain amount of cynicism? Well... it is what it is. I'm glad she's not full hipster. A little is cute. Too much is deadly.
I think I'm going to do a photo project while I'm in this apartment/loft. I'll take as many photos of the other residents as I can, and post them in this thread, and then we can rate them. At one end of the scale is "Gone Full Hipster" and at the other can be "Only happens to live in Bushwick."

I think I should do this when I hang in Adams Morgan or U st. again.
