Who's the biggest hipster on OcUK?

Participant · 18 Oct 2018 at 15:08

Just wondering who members felt might be the greatest hipster on OcUK. Not that I'm calling it a bad thing.

Any advances on Raymond Lin?

i feel that hipster is too mainstream of a label.

How do you qualify Hipster?

@LiE uses Apple products while in Starbucks, pretty sure that is epitome of being a hipster.

I'll have you know I only go to boutique coffee shops where the coffee can be traced back to the guy who picked the beans. Also it has to be aesthetic enough to take photos on my retro style Fuji camera to post on instagram.

For some reason (I have no evidence on which to base this) I reckon there is a fair-to-middling possibility that he has a vinyl turntable on his desk at work and likes to play folk music for his colleagues.

you also need to have a beard, a turtleneck and listen to bands nobody's ever heard of.

also just going to starbucks isn't enough, you need to have a favourite order that takes at least half an hour to describe to the attendant.

Would you like a Wet non-fat, unsweetened vanilla soy latte with the new Guatemala beans?

I have no beard though, guess I am out !

I roast my own coffee beans and own a retro style Fuji camera. I love hoppy beers too.

No beard though. Am I safe?

I assume you have met @Phate ? I don't think we can class him as a hipster unless things have changed over the last few years that is
