That is funny. I am gonna have to watch the series on Netflix, even though it was cool before it was on Netflix.

Portlandia rocks. Well it used to until all you found out about it. it's over.
I can't watch Portlandia, hits too close too home as a native Oregonian and Portlandian.
I'd rather watch Grimm and Leverage (filmed here in town) or anything from Will Vinton, heh.
Man, I am trying to move to Bend, OR eventually. Love that place!

Oh yeah... the guy in your avatar pic = hipster (assuming that's from the TV show I think it is).
In reply to Ian F:
He's a little bit more of a nerd, but I can see where the line gets blurred with the black framed glasses, a little bit smug, and fro.

So if someone said they were a hipster that would make them not hipsters right?
Here in DC, we play a game called Hip-or-Hobo. Whoever can Identify if someone is a hipster or a hobo from the furthest away wins, but you only get one call per observed hip-hobo. some neighborhoods are more challenging than others.
Suburbs would be waaaaay easier than in the city. Atlanta, for example, has an area called Little 5 Points and that place is pretty hard to tell.

The (perhaps politically incorrect) NYC variant of this is "Gay or European". It can indeed be quite challenging.

Jay, you used Wordstar before it was cool?

Good luck playing that in Portland ME, was up there earlier in the month and holy hell batman it was harder to find normal people.

As a former resident of Virginia Highlands (walking/drunk-stumbling distance from L5P), I support this message.
Dude, Virginia Highlands is pretty nice compared to where Buddy's gas station is. I had TWO friends(hipsters of course) that lived in the apartments across the street that were robbed at gunpoint within 6 months of each other. I wouldn't move down there for nothing.

Apparently, yes. No hipster admits to being a hipster. We have a couple in my office. Then again, can you be a hipster with a decent paying white collar job?

It's a great show. Thanks to youse guys I have been watching the IT Crowd a bunch. Really funny stuff, didn't like the first season as much but glad I stuck with it.
And now this post is art. Now it's free.

Gay or Canadian is even harder. I have lost more than one round of drinks to those neat and well dressed northern berkeleyers with their funny half-french lisp. They are rampant in the northern mid-west. The one thing you can always count on is that the actual gay guys are much better sports than French-Canadian guys. Both always seem to have weed though.

Gotta admit..that was damn near 20yrs ago, before anyone who had anything worth stealing moved into either neighborhood (okay, so VaHi might have been in the first wave of rich folks "reclaiming" a neighborhood). IIRC, all the hipsters moved into East Atlanta when the (whatever the modern term for) yuppies moved into VaHi & Little Five. Eh, at least in EA they're closer to the zoo nowadays.
I am now wondering if I was a hipster before it was cool..I'm so ashamed.

My wife used to work as a horse & carriage driver in Philly. This would have been a very challenging game in that crowd. I think the trust fund check might be the only clearly distinguishing feature of the hipsters, or possibly owning the flophouse, as opposed to renting it or just couch surfing it.

I've been through there before.....my uncle just reminded me, "don't go through there at night" lol
And gps, those cannucks are generally pretty pissy when you ask if they're gay.....
One thing that irritates me about hipsters is thier love of faux farm markets like WholeFoods. When I was a kid we went to farm markets and farm stands to get a better price on fresh foods, not to pay more for a middle man to tell me its farm fresh. /end rant.

i think it was George Carlin that said that a person is kind, sweet, intelligent, and all that good stuff but people suck..
someone mentioned how hipsters buy their clothes at the Salvation Army and go out of their way to look like they are homeless.. not all of them do that- some of them go to specialty stores that cater to them and spend a lot of money on clothes that look like they found them in a dumpster behind a homeless shelter.. they also don't always drink PBR- some of them drink really expensive microbrews that come from some obscure brewery that no one has ever heard of (except for every other hipster and beer snob in the country)... i know these things from experience- one of my oldest friends and his wife have built up a good little business and have money almost literally coming out their ears- the kind of money that lets them just plop $20k+ each on a '69 Coronet convertible, '08 Mustang GT, '09ish Charger Super Bee, or '07 Caddy Escalade just on a whim.. they spend a LOT of money making the world think they are homeless when they aren't driving the Coronet, Mustang, Charger, or Escalade around the nice neighborhood where they live in their $600k house..
Couch Surfing? Pro level here.
