Main Principle: There is no such thing as a self-identifying hipster.
To be a hipster is to not genuinely "try" to be anything. All personal tastes, specifically fashion and music, involve irony and a level of mockery. Thus, to admit that you are a hipster means that you're legitimately trying to attain a certain image, and you are therefore not a hipster.
Corollary: You can't pretend to be a hipster, because pretending to be a hipster implies that you are ironically mocking them, and thus, means you are acting like a hipster.

What the fuck is this doing in the discuss forum.
We are not concerned with hipsters here. We are only concerned with fatsters.

Mike (is it?), what's the point.

Main Principle: What the fuck is this shit
Corollary: Seriously though what

How is this an uncertainty principle? To take another (the?) uncertainty principle, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle for an example, it posits that something is uncertain (ie, either the location or the trajectory of an electron). You're not really doing that. You're kind of just saying self identifying hipsters don't exist.
TL;DR: Why?
-
This is more of a Russell's Paradox than a Heisenberg Uncertainty, yeah.
-
Even now that this thread is in I Like Hurr, it still baffles me.

Williamsburg sucks.

Like I feel like there are comments I should make in this thread but I just can't.

hipster = emo in my book
-
Well, everything I know about hipsters comes from this comic and these message boards, and emo is the closest thing I can compare it to. Especially with the amount of whining and self loathing that goes on.
This is based on attitude alone. If you have any hipster bands I can youtube, then I'll do some more research.

Your book is dumb.
Your mom is a book.

Has anyone actually met one of these emo people that genuinely hate themselves? I've met a bunch of people who wear black and like skinny jeans and hoodies but the self-loathing never seems to come up. As far as I can tell, they're just a bit self-absorbed and dress alike. You know, like every other group of teenagers in the history of the universe.

That makes no sense whatsoever :-D

Yeah. Quite a few actually.
-
emo people
emo is a musical genre, not a personality type.
how many times do i have to explain this?
-
I still have not figured out what this thread is.
-
My apologies, I:
1. Didn't quite understand what the "Discussion" thread was for.
2. Overestimated other people's interest in my hobby for naming trivial social behaviors.

Read this or go away foo'. (http://www.fourfa.com/)
k bye thread!

2. I think "hipsters" is a regional thing maybe? I don't know any "hipsters". I am not sure they are a thing we have in the UK.
When was the last time you went to Shoreditch?
-
Actually, what Tommy said.
I've had to explain on numerous (read: just once, this isn't really something that pops up in conversation) occasions here (in the UK) what (the williamsburg variety of) hipster was. I've always concluded with 'do you know Skins?'
