What classifies someone as a hipster?

[Frequency]

trying to settle an argument.

do any of us qualify as hipsters? I'm being told a hipster rebels against mainstream things.

just being against what most people like for the sake of defiance

saying "Riddler did nothing wrong!" unironically

people who wear specific clothing, listen to specific music, eat specific food and drink specific alcohol that's unpopular because it's unpopular or they do it to be "ironic"

stuff like wearing a goofy scarf in summer because nobody normal does that, or displaying a brand name that's unpopular or disliked to be unique

lets say nobody knows what the band "Concept of Afterbirth Destruction" is because it's stuffty music that nobody sane listens to. If you're a hipster, you wear CoAD tshirts because nobody likes it

being contrarian about everything in their lives. people like this? well, that thing is bad! this thing is bad? well, I like this thing ironically!

they are obsessed with independence and counter-culture. they're also very, uh, artsy, and their humor is a bit stale. or perhaps i "just don't understand"

source: people classify me as one :(

the problem is that that's the stereotypical hipster, but all of those are actually relatively mainstream, which is the opposite of a hipster.

okay, but you can't put it that simply.

most memes and stuffty websites like ifunny are mainstream, but a good chunk of blf users stray away from that stuff not because it's mainstream but because it's handicapped also stuff a double post
