This headline is misleading and stupid. GODDAMMIT MY TIME WAS WASTED.
hipsters do not shop at abercrombie and fitch.
Where is Demi? Perhaps this is just an new episode of Punked…
Josh Hartnett? Interesting. I was thinking Ashton Kutcher.
The definition, in quotes, did indeed come from Wikipedia. Should have credited it. Thanks to Nate for his reply to my question.
Robbing banks seems so easy this days. You don't even need a weapon now … other than bad taste
He looks as just as original as everyone else dowtown
i think unhips's hipster def came straight outta wikipedia
Seriously, all it takes these days to tag someone as a "hipster" is a pair of heavy-framed glasses, which the guy was probably wearing as some sort of Clark Kent-level disguise anyway? The conventional haircut, LL Bean outfit, and Abercrombie & Fitch bag would seem to outweigh the frames as cultural determinants, in my opinion.
josh hartnett?

I'm so glad it wasn't just me.
LOL good one, Ash…
Help the non-hipsters among us by explaining how the picture and the description add up to a "hipster." Don't we need to know a little about his taste in music and his other lifestyle choices?
"In some circles it became a blanket description for middle class and upper class young people associated with alternative culture, particularly alternative music, independent rock, alternative hip-hop, independent film and a lifestyle revolving around thrift store shopping, eating organic, locally grown, vegetarian, and/or vegan food, drinking local beer (or even brewing their own), listening to public radio, and riding fixed-gear bicycles"
hmmm — did he take off on his fixie, first stopping at urban outfitters and then greenlife for his one bag of groceries from his large bank job?
To support his Abercrombie addiction, no doubt.
as my buddy Carol said, "He was ironically robbing the bank."
