Just saw my first real life hipster

Not even really sure what makes someone a hipster other than stereotypes and judgement. 

Na it's a real thing. Kinda like goth freaks in the 90's. When I think of hipsters, I think of a guy that looks like this:



Meticulously trimmed beard? Check.
Trendy swept over hair-do? Check.
Looks like he spends more time getting ready than a woman? Check.
Trendy glasses that look like something an accountant from the 50's would wear (and probably aren't needed)? Check.
Nose ring and ear gauge? Check.
Plus he's rocking a bow-tie for something other than prom? Check.
Probably listens to only bands you've never heard of? Probably a check.

Hipsters are definitely a real thing, although I do get them confused with "metrosexuals".

Cost of living was much lower until the migration of California residents began(they were considered hipsters BTW).

It was not a trendy place when I moved there.  Some granola hippie/some rednecks/some average people.

Yes, you read that correctly.  There were and probably still are rednecks there.  Just like anywhere else.

The perception of Ohio is we could be Iowa.  The same to them.  Farmers and corn.


The other thing I found odd is that a lot of people on the west coast think New York state is New York City.

All skyscrapers, bustling streets, and traffic jams.

One time I told someone I had an uncle who owned a dairy farm in New York...  and he scratched his head.

"Where do they keep the cows in the city?"  LMAO



Lastly...I guarantee you scan certain areas ANYWHERE that has a metropolis and you'll find a "hipster".

My cousin - who had only lived in California at the time - was shocked when I mentioned going to wal-mart in Kentucky years ago. He thought it was nothing but farms and horses. Of course, when I think of Seattle, I think of grunge, coffee and hipsters. California is surfers, liberals and TMZ.
