fuck no! hipsters are protoyuppies. once their student loans run out they go & become lawyers, record-label executives, and marketers for upscale products. an inflow of hipsters in a neighborhood s the first sign of gentrification, which brings yuppie doom: starbucks across the street from another, dean & delucas, & the ultimate expression of "there goes the neighborhood!"---designer furniture stores.
but i could describe myself as a geek of all trades (i don't have a single obsession: computers, music, film, books-- but in the spirit of geekdom, not scenesterism).
