How the be a hipster



Both a state of mind and even a fashion sense, hipsterism is about independent
thought, shunning of mainstream preferences, counterculture, and progressive politics.[1] Hipsters like to perceive themselves as being highly creative, intelligent, thoughtful, and witty. Rejecting the common fads of consumerism, hipsters don't like to ingratiate themselves to thoughtless consuming and prefer to show their independence by making choices that deliberately reflect their desire to openly make cultural statements, whether it's through the coffee they drink, the clothes they wear, the music they listen to, the way they decorate their living space, or even down to the vocabulary they use. Think "indie" culture and "bohemian" style and you're getting close to the mark on what it is to be a hipster.

Steps:
1.Be in the right age group.
2.Be where the hipsters roam. Be where there are independent art galleries, movie houses, bands, and people.
3.Be educated. Aim to go to college, as hipsters tend to be well educated in such areas as liberal arts, graphic art, or math and science.[13] Do a lot of reading, even if it means sitting in the local bookstore using their space and not actually purchasing the books you're siphoning up knowledge from. Seek to go to higher level education if you're in your element at college.

Ouhhh yeah! But I guess, if everyone would be both book smart and street smart, what would it be the difference between hipster and those mediocre people that summ the reading just to emails and text messagees for their whole life.
4.Be an early adopter. Hipsters tend to sense what's worthwhile before the trend or item becomes more popular. Many bands become famous only after hipsters first flock to their unknown performances.
5.Make what's old new again. A mixture of frugality, respect for some of the past, and a desire to demonstrate that new things don't define who you are all blend together to create this step.
6.Get your reading matter and viewing sorted.
7.Hone your humor. A hipster is known for their strong sense of irony and sarcasm. When asked a question, refuse to answer directly; instead, obfuscate, ask a question in return, or just be plain sarcastic.
8.Listen to newly emerging, independent music. Independent music is a big part of what being a hipster's all about.
9.Get the lingo and the attitude. Remember to use perhaps the most important hipster line: "I liked them before they were cool." Another good line given the recent spate of disasters is to say something like: "I donated to Haiti... before the disaster."
10.Start dancing. Good music needs moves.

That`s pretty much all I got now for you. Be yourself, do not imitate, be creative, do not be satisfied with ordinary things.
