Hate to break it to you, but you are a first-class hipster if you use The Onion or South Park to gain insight into anything.

I think he was giving somebody a compliment. I am not sure what a ‘1st class hipster’ is but it sounds like one of the best ranks to have. I love The Onion and South Park but I know compliment wasn’t directed at me because I am neither a hipster nor 1st class.
