The Hipster Handbook

That book is deck.

I heard Michael K is the cover star.

 

It's f'ing great. I wear glasses, carry a bike messenger bag, and have records on 4 of those labels. Jesus.

 

I'm 60% hipster. I had no idea that Dave Eggers and a messsenger bag made me hip.

 

Thank god I'm only 60%.

The people it describes as hipsters are the people that get beat up on a regular basis and made fun of by 10 year olds.

 

I got 63%, which is still outside the +/- range, I would guess. Had to cheat a bit, though, as I've read a good bit of Martin Amis and Don Delillo, but couldn't get through Zadie Smith or Dave Eggers.

I have made arrangements with my closest friends. They are to shoot me if I ever start saying "deck" on a regular basis without referring to planks of wood in the back yard.

 

I stopped taking the test because I was scaring myself...I don't wanna be "that guy".

Then I went and alphabetized all my Drag City discs...

 

Only 57% for me which isn't bad for a former college radio DJ. I've never worn a mesh cap.

"hipster" google:

 

I got 43%.

 

57% is not very deck.


Thank god.

 

Ok, I got a 37%. Very sad.

 

50% here. I can't believe that any group of people would be against wings as an appetizer...

 

Surprised one of the choices wasn't a tofu burger or something. I'm 52% Hipster. That's more then I need.

 

37%. I should be lower because I want to move to Florida.

 

80% hipster.

Though I wish i was less, i hate most hipsters.

 

30% despite owning every NMH release including the EP collection and Jeff Mngum's "Live at Jittery Joe". I've really slipped since moving to Vermont. I have to go to NYC this weekend for a party and the hippest thing I have to wear are flannel-lined jeans and a homemade t-shirt that says "Cheese".

Hope you weren't this guy:

73%

I must take a long, hard look at my life.

 

Coming in around 60 percent, though that could have been higher (a couple of close calls...)

I hope you don't work as a blackjack dealer.

 

I came in at 67%. Not quite sure how that's possible when I've never even heard the word deck as a synonym for cool before reading this thread.

 

No, I wasn't that guy. Unfortunately, however, I was involved in this disaster:
