If youre old enough to have owned trucker caps and chuck taylors when they were not ironic, but the norm, then you win.
I saw a young kid wearing el-cheapo plastic ray-ban style sunglasses with black frames and neon-yellow arms. I remember buying them for $1 in the 80's along with Madonna bracelets and Max Headroom glasses. (which are also cool again) I should have kept all the stupid crap I had in the 80's, I could sell my parachute pants to a hipster!
I still have hypercolor t-shirts in my closet...
So close
How many hipsters does it take to change a light bulb?
It's a really obscure number you've probably never heard of before.

Not really. The only reason the hat is a trucker hat is because it is the only Yugo hat I could find lol.

You were cool before it was cool. 
Was in a checkout line the other day, the girl two places up was wearing chunky black glasses with neon earpieces but NO LENSES. Huh. When I was a kid and had to start wearing glasses it was about the most uncool thing evar, like 'FOUR EYES!'. Now it's a frickin' fashion statement.
The scary thing is, by bingo standards I generally qualify as one. I was most frightened when they had my bright green Pumas as one of the items.
Also pissed off that hipsters ruined anything with a skull. I love my "Driveshaft Through The Skull" T-shirt.
I won't ever get a tattoo, but if I were so inclined, this would be it.
In reply to volvoclearinghouse:
That's pretty rad. I wouldn't mind getting that!
I think the Ed Hardy brand ruined anything with a skull first.
Dads are the original hipsters: http://dadsaretheoriginalhipster.tumblr.com/
And this one is the funniest of them all: http://dadsaretheoriginalhipster.tumblr.com/post/3168331452/your-dad-had-a-beard-before-you-did-it-wasnt-a
"Your dad had a beard before you did. It wasn’t a trend or a fashion statement, it was pure function and unbridled masculinity. With his beard, he could fall a tree without picking up an axe. With your patchwork beard, the only thing you can do is attract ironic women who only like beards because they’ve been brain washed by PBR into thinking they’re attractive. You want to know how your dad got your mom? The power of his beard lured her in and then his silver tongue made her stay. So hipster, stop trying to grow your face in, you’re never going to kill it like dad."
As a beard toting Dad, I damn well agree. The blog was funnier when all the posts had a "your mom" reference.

you could buy new glasses from Ken Block for $80. They look about the same, but are bright green, white, and clear.
I saw a hipster maximus at a concert in san jose a few months ago. Total mullet, with a red suit and matching cowboy hat, thick framed darked out sunglasses, tall can off PBR, and a most ironic handle bar mustache. I almost thought the guy was a parody of what a hipster should be but apparently he was for real.
Another thing hipsters have ruined are Ray Ban glasses. I got mine back in 2006 or so as they were the only glasses which I can wear a halfdome helmet on my motorcycle and not need goggle.

If you are so inclined, watch 21 Jump Street.
I nearly did a double take. Then confirmed with a couple younger acquaintances (I'm 24, they are 18). Yep, times have changed in only 6 years, I would have been the most popular kid at school if I had been born 6 years later. 
I'm glad the hipsters gave up american spirits after they realized they had nicotine in them.
My personal experience, hipsters are generally stupid in a group, but decently intelligent by themselves(HOW THE HECK DOES THAT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!)
when I was 16 ('96), riding BMX was kinda nerdy...girls were like "youre 16, and still ride a bike everywhere? Geta car, loser".
10 years later, when I was 26, ZOMFGEXTREME Mtn Dew X-GAMEzY0!!1! had brainwashed HS junior girls into thinking that BMX dudes were hotter than the surface of the sun.
WTF mom and dad, couldnt you have kept it in your pants for another decade? lolol

I lost my last set of Ray Bans in the late 80s. 
In reply to yamaha:
My SIL still smokes them. She's a hipster herself. It does get annoying.
The other big hipster thing is buying clothes from 2nd hand stores or the Salvation Army Store. The clothing is always mismatched and atrocious.
It gets embarrassing going out into public with my SIL, because here we are all dressed in our Sunday best and we happen to have let a homeless cat lady tag along.

Does she still think they "Aren't addictive so they must not have nicotine" ??? I'll add inability to read to the general hipster issue.....it reads "Additive free" not "Addictive free"......

Yes, yes it is. I'm surprised someone remembered!

She smokes them because they are "all natural". She wants the Nicotine.
Sounds like a bunch idiots if they thought any tobacco product was free of nicotine.
