Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the center of the “Hipster” realm. This area of New York is the hotspot for wealthy middle-class whites to feel like they are outcasts from society. Generally mistaken for “emo” styles, Hipsters tend to listen to all sorts of music, but specifically a disco-funk-techno genre now called “electro-pop.” This is a list of qualities held by the common Hipster.

1. Nerd Glasses

The Buddy Holly glasses are a major fashion statement used to excess by hipsters.

2. Uber-Tight Denim Pants

So called “Skinny” jeans, are usually wrapped tightly around the calf, and tucked into their high-tops.

3. No Belt

Although they always seem to desperately need one, Hipsters almost never wear a belt. Due to this, their super-tight jeans are sagging halfway down their ass (see image above). It should be noted that if they do happen to wear a belt it usually comes with a very large buckle.

4. Converse All-Star

Now we can’t hate too much on the classic basketball shoe, but does it really have to be worn by every single person in the community? Seriously. This is a must have for a Hipster.

Another option to the All-Star, although this would be on a day they didn”t feel like wearing their Converse, would be another Hi-top, often the Nike Dunk (with really bright colors).

5. Justin Timberlake Hat

Unfortunately JT needed to be used here because he has really brought this into fashion (and because I don”t know the actual name of the hat), but this is a popular item for Hipsters, especially the straw ones. Even though they would deny getting the style from him, they did, and they probably hate that fact.

6. Vest

Wearing a vest without a suit is a bold fashion statement, especially when you’re playing a game of Big Buck Hunter or Skeeball in a dive bar.

7. Unshaved

The funny part about this photo is that the lion actually looks better than an unshaven Hipster. Their beards are untrimmed, smelly, and just gross.

8. Skateboards (preferably “longboards”)

Let’s make this clarification: Hipsters are not skateboarders. But they do use skateboards. However, they use skateboards for getting around the city, not for jumping or doing tricks. They use them to look like rebels, even though they”re not.

9. No Work

The most annoying thing about hipsters is that they never seem to have work to do. Monday through Friday they hang out in coffee shops, comic book stores, music shops and never in the work place. How do these kids make money? Do they have a trust fund? Are they secretly living with their parents? Or is it that they really just enjoy living off the scraps in life? I think the latter.

10. Denial

Most hipsters will deny actually being a hipster. If you call them out on it, they will freak out. Try it.
