    Bubbler, we can't complete your nomination until we know the diameter of your pant legs. Skinny jeans make the hipster.

    Why do hipsters always burn their mouths when they eat pudding?
    Because they like it way before it's cool

    PBR is shit, most of adult swim's attempts at anti-humor are shit (though I like Children's Hospital and have a secret soft spot for The Eric Andre Show), I don't think the world's going to come to an end if I go to Starbucks instead of an Indie-Approved Coffee Shop, and for every music act I like (Real Estate, Bon Iver), there's 15 I don't. Also I replaced my black-rimmed glasses last year, and I'm too fucking fat to wear skinny jeans or most ironic t-shirts.

    So I'm out.

    So not a hipster, you might be a hipster. When commercialism and obesity make a comeback, you'll be sitting there in your XXL T-shirt with your Venti latte, thinking you totally were doing that before it was cool.

    (Then again, so will I.)

    I'm too fat to be a hipster.

    But I do like hipster music and have put away my decade-old horn-rimmed glasses and worn contacts until every high school girl in America stops wearing them. That's a complete hipster move.

    Did you guys hear about the hipster who burned his mouth on a piece of pizza?





































    He bit into it before it was cool.

    The words "sports journalist" and "hipster" are mutually exclusive .

    The only term as annoying as "hipster" is "foodie".

    Anyone who declares himself to be either one is a douche--except Bubbler, of course.

    Bubbler isn't a hipster. He's an Emma Goldman style anarchist.

    Never met The Bubs but I hope he doesn't LOOK like Emma

    I like some hipster music but am so far from being a hipster in looks and job that I would not attempt to pull it off.

    I tried to brand myself as "cool suburban dad" but referring to the minivan as a "vanborghini" gets old pretty quick. I claim to "pss suburban excellence" every now and then.

    The dudes at my office are amazed at my pop culture grasp (a lot of which I keep current on from reading this board!) and old school rap refences so not really sure where I slot in.

    Liking soccer is so 1996.

    Hating PBR is so 2011.

    Hating Rush is so 1980-2010.

    In the last month pretty much all the city bars here have been struck by the Natty Bo infestation. I sit patiently and wait for the Old Milwaukee revival.

    I'm pretty certain any affinity for Christian metal automatically disqualifies you from any form of hipsterism or hipness.
    You can't even get within spitting distance.
