How does one change their status from weirdo to hipster? Where is the line drawn? ---

> [@grude](#): > > How does one change their status from weirdo to hipster? Where is the line drawn? There is no line. It is a Venn diagram. All hipsters are (intentional) weirdos but not all weirdos are hipsters. It is all about motivation and the level of condescension directed towards others. Weirdos can be anything from basic socially awkward people, to the mentally ill to the homeless. Hipsters are the subset of weirdos that revel in their real or imagined oddities to an extreme level and claim to revel in it. They see that as the opposite of a disadvantage and use it to form exclusive social groups based on nothing more than vaguely shared and oddly competitive eccentricities. Most come from rather privileged backgrounds but have not managed to be very economically successful themselves so claiming unusual interests and styles are their way to assert their authority in their own little micro-universe. ---

No one was smoking, ironically or not. Or is that not hipster anymore? I was uncool before uncool was cool, if it still is cool. Maybe we’re back to being nerds. Living overseas and not being a part of American culture in a zillion ways, I had to look up chaco sandals and lesbians. ---

> [@Shagnasty](#): > > BTW, tell your friend “Bayonet” that I find his name offensive and please change it. Millions of people have died and been injured because of those instruments of brutal warfare throughout history. The symbolism should not be celebrated in irony or anything else. Shortened forms like “Bay”,“Bayo” or “Net” are acceptable for now although the latter is marginal due to its association with involuntary capture. Symbols of violence should never be casually celebrated especially for something as frivolous as a nickname (if it is his legal name, he can have that changed easily as well). I am sure he is a decent person in some ways and this is just an insensitive oversight on his part but it needs to be remedied immediately. Yeah, he needs to change it to “Pike” or “Halberd”… ---

> [@Honey](#): > > I call bullshit on the OP. The very first thing you would have done when you picked Sherry up for your date, is ask her what kind of beer she had in the bag. :dubious: Well, in all fairness it could have been an aborted fetus in there. Hey, if the topic worked for a first conversation, think of what it could do for a first date. ---

If I were the OP I would offer to get her pregnant just so she could have an abortion – for the merit badge and the hipster cred. ---

One of my co-workers was just over in my cube complaining about his hipster soon-to-be brother-in-law and his bride to be, my co-worker’s wife’s sister. “yea, that is 100% the description of both of them. Every single word” So very good job, Shagnasty! ---

Also, can I get this girls number? I don’t even like beer but she’s got moxie, and she doesn’t fit in with hipsters, two massive plusses. ---

Try a little, would you? 😉 There is a donut flavored one in a pink bottle. I don’t drink beer (don’t like hops) but the guys tell me it was quite good actually. The Bud Lime was only outclassed by the Four Locos and the Michelob Tuscan Orange Grapefruit and the Chelata. ---

I love craft beer, and I love Bud Light Lime. It’s a great beer on a hot summer day. My friend had a blind-ish fruit beer drinking tasting. And guess which one won? That’s right, Bud Light Lime. Don’t knock it. ---

Since [manual typewriters](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/the-filter/virals/11675023/Hipsters-really-are-using-typewriters-in-public-places.html) have become a hipster thing, I’m not at all surprised by mix tapes.
