Perhaps you misunderstand what Zen means. I could replace the word 'Zen' in that sentence with many words like "retarded" and they all work. If I try to replace it with "achieving enlightenment thru meditation" it does not seem to make as much sense.

Huh. I am usually good at spotting those. It must be from some lame movie no one ever saw like "Waiting for Guffman" or something.

Sure, there is now.

Proto-Hipster, noun. A person in their mid-to-late thirties (as of 2011) who has the same tendencies, interests and taste in fashion as a hipster (who they look down upon)—just several years before it's "cool."

Favorite phrase, "Did you see that Mr. Show episode with Pucifer?"

What E36 M3ty beer will they use instead of PBR? Maybe Genny Creme Ale gets it day in the sun?

If it ever turns out to be Henry Weinhard's Root Beer, then I will have been a proto-proto-hipster (the previous future past participle of the proto-hipster).

I think (unlike hipsters) most of them have jobs and respectable incomes, so instead of ironically pretending to like the cheap working-class american lager of a bygone era, they pretend to genuinely like weird-tasting $10 a glass belgian ales.

(I'm even worse, I lack a respectable income AND I drink overpriced weird beer!)

Genny creme ale is vile. E36 M3ty doesn't even begin to cover what a horrid beverage that is.

Now I have a term to describe several of my friends... And who am I kidding? Myself as well, I suppose.

Kinda like how in 1995, riding BMX = girls saying: "Wait...you dont have a car? you are not worth my time...now wheres that varsity QB?"

Now Riding BMX = girls saying: "Oooohh...youre into alternative sports? omfg you must be like...artistic...and stuff...wanna go check out my bedroom?"

I was born 16 years too early...I still ride BMX, but it never got me play like it does for kids today....dern kids...I used to have to walk uphill both ways in bare feet grumble grumble
