A zillion LPs....no, since your collection began when only LPs were available. You didn't create this collection recently because of a conforming trend that makes you 'stand out as a rebellious individual'. Irony. Rebuttal to the hippie comment....hippies were the spoiled offspring of the post WWII boom generation.

I thought "hipster" was something that someone else called you.
Aren't you, by definition, not a hipster if you call yourself one?

My 16 year assures me that I am not hipster, can't ever have been, and will never be.
I still have hopes
Skinny jeans....not in a million years with my calves (and in any time when skinny jeans were in style)
I drink and occaisonal beer......back in the starving days lucky lager
Music....my mp3 has flogging molly and vampire diary on it.....but the louis prima, blasters, punk and zydeco probably neutralize that
No fixie for me but have built two with/for the teenager
This is my ride that sorta qualifies me as a hipster, but the kid just says I am a bike geek.....live with.... so I will

I always wear a beard (hides my weak chin), but ALWAYS well groomed and never on the neck
I MAKE my own beer (and have never drank Ballantine or PBR)
I hate kitsch
I shower regularly
I've never rocked the cowboy boots
Penny t-shirts are stupid
Jeans - boot cut and cut for full range of movement
I ride old bikes, but make sure to leave the derrailleurs on them
I do have a (straw) fedora, strictly for the beach or chilling in the pool with the aforementioned homebrew
I hate cats
Why would anyone want records when they can have an iSomething (playing period-performance baroque on lossless through great headphones is awesome)?
White socks only work with sneakers, and those sneakers shall not look like something out of the 80's.
I drink Maxwell House coffee
I do drink espresso, but my FiL is Italian and got me into it, so I get a bye, right?
I have to admit, I do like a good haircut and straight razor shave at a good barbershop, and I do use pomade.

It gets around 8-9mpg on a good day. To drive 3 miles a day to work, it was costing me about $30-$35 a week. In the Miata, which isn't exactly an economy car, that cost was cut in half.,,,,BD
Yep, 5.9 liter, with a gas sucking 4 barrel.

If you go with the ironic thing, something so uncool that is cool, I win. I'm so hip I need to go through a door sideways.

I confess I ride a Linus city bike around PDX (that's hipsterspeak for Portland, OR.) It's complete with Pletscher center stand, Brooks B-67, and Russian ammo pouches on the rack for hipster accessories, vapor cig, pipe, etc... Please don't hate me.

I have two pairs of vintage Puma shoes. And even more strange than that, I seem to find at least one pair of vintage Pumas every time I go to a thrift store. RobbieTunes bought the pair of cycle touring Pumas I found, that were a 1/2 size too small. I was pretty bummed that they didn't fit, but at least they went to a good home.,,,,BD

I have had a few people tell me that I am a hipster in the last few years but before that I was called a hippy. Truth is I am to young to be a true hippy and to old to be a hipster. My wife and kids just call me weird.
I thoroughly enjoy seeing the 60' s 70's and 80's repackaged and sold to today's generation. I like telling them about when their cool new fad came around the first time. They tend to not be as entertained by that as I am.

BEHOLD! THE MANTICORE!
I've given up on trying to make sense of this whole thing, I just do as I please. I can't even keep track of trends anymore, its too confusing. I'm just a 30 year old, nihilistic, apathetic misanthrope. I suppose that means I pay too much attention to things that actually matter to make me a hipster.
[MENTION=13229]Bikedued[/MENTION]: If you were near me I'd try to take that old Dodge off of your hands
It is a bit odd that so much that is considered hipsteresque is stuff us C&Vers are into regardless of the trends.

For my .02 worth, I think hipsters are closer to beatniks than hippie wannabes. There, I said it, Maynard Krebs lives on! My daughter, the barista, has all the classic traits. She rides a Bianchi Pista everywhere, doesn't own or want a car, and plays our old LPs at her coffee shop. She now has a very nice KOF Medici (with gears!) and goes on longer rides. She just finished her first century, with me, last weekend. I think the hipsters share a lot of my values and traits, so yeah, I'm with them!

No bikes sans derailleur.
I do have one of these that was a gift. It sometimes gets worn under my helmet
And I do have a Volvo but probably not the right model:
I do wear these on occasion

I guess I'm not even hip enough to know what the term hipster means. Still like to play with DOS. Way back was driving BMW's.... had a 1966 2000 Ti Lux with seat belts and used them decades before the law required! Still like and have speedy rear engine air cooled cars << Like old smiley's stickers too. Same as a poster above - have a Marantz 2275 receiver with partial burn't bulbs.... piles of vinyl. Use old machines and machinery... will waste hours restoring some of them. Will drag rusty bikes home, even a Huffy, make something of it and give away. Ski all disciplines on old stuff.... woody's too. Sometimes sport a hip flask when out on the night of the town. Drag an old skateboard out on occasion, show off to the g.kids.... scary.
