hipsters versus hip.

i offended two people this week when i was asked to describe their style. i called them hipsters. one of them has the sides of her head shaved and wears skinny jeans and screams cool while the other wears purple v-necks and rides a fixed gear bike. so i did some hipster research and i stand corrected. apparently the people i've offended are just cool. or, hip. but dear god, they are NOT hipsters (they practically cut me up with a steak knife and ate me in bite sized pieces perfect for a four year old).

here is an official definition, brought to you by urban dictionary.

according to the adbusters.org article posted by d.l.s., it seems that another key factor of being a hipster is also to deny that you're a hipster... interesting.
