7. When someone asks you what bands you listen to, be sure to answer with "I listen to some really obscure stuff.. you probably haven't heard of them".

I don't know, but there's a chance that I'm a hipster without trying to be a hipster.

That kind of sucks.

Although, no v-neck shirts for me. Or at least very few.

How about:

Bike messenger bag.
Tallboy can of PBR
Menthol cigarette dangling from mouth
Scarf
Bicycle

Just to name a few more. I could go on and on- I live in Portland, OR. It's hipster heaven here.

Jarrett says:
@mattyc - Oh that's good...should have had my polaroid!

@miguelito - I am growing. Slowly. Very slowly.

@andrew - I wanted to say something about shoes but I didn't know how to describe it. That's perfect!

@ChineseWildman - Perfect.

@Katie - Uhhhh....

@mOtke - No v-necks, no hipster. I think.

@Grower&Shower - Wow! Good list. The messenger badg and bike would have been good additions. But if I wore a scarf, it would cover the v-neck! I should come to Portland and study up.

@robberfly - skinnier?

mOtke says:
@robberfly is right. The skinny jeans are REALLY skinny. I don't own any of those either, so I think i'm safe.

Whew.

I live in an area in Norfolk, VA called Ghent. And you have just perfectly described with the help of @andrew and @grower&shower what I like to call Ghentiles. They're everywhere around here. Nice guys generally, but hard to take seriously sometimes.
