Hipsters. I n the past I believed I had a bulletproof way of determining ones authenticity as a hipster. But, alas, as time old friend has passed and My days and nights of ''being on the scene'' or atleast just out have wained, its hard to tell who is a hipster or who just likes the clothes they wear. Really, who cares. I bump into the guys from Hair Police occasionally at the record store and I suppose if you were to grade them on dress/grooming they would qualify as ''hipsters''. Well, once you talk with them you realize they don't carry the hipster attitude and the generalized baggage(literally and figuratively) that comes from within the hipster milleu. Basically, I see it as people that are trying to look,act,be perceived a certain way, and in the example of the hair police dudes, theres just people that plain old like the ''weird'' clothes they wear and just happen to appear homeless.
I will say this at the Times New Viking/Psychadelic Horseshit show, there were many a hipster that were way too cool for anything and yawned at you because your shoes weren't dirty enough. Piss off I say, I like my chav Lacoste knock-offs to brighten up the room.
