The Hipster's 10 commandments

[ignoramus]

It's about time the bible revised itself! (We've now got the "UT". The sealed section of the bible called Ultra New and still unheard of Testament!)
Now we've finally gone from Goat herder's to Goat's milk latte.

Heed the new commandments! or else! ..................... Or else you're just another sheep in the herd! You've been warned!

1. Thou shalt respect the environment (Ride a bike, take a bus, run, walk, or skip your way to the nearest Whole Foods)
2. Thou shalt buy organic
3. Thou shalt only partake in human powered exercise (Yoga, climbing, mountain biking, hiking, and running three blocks with 3 black coffees on a tray is acceptable)
4. Thou shalt always stay ahead of the trends (Move quickly, the Top 40s are catching up)
5. Remember to Instagram everything (How much does a hipster weigh? An Instagram!)
6. Thou shalt re-purpose old marmalade jars as often as possible (Use them to store coins, nails, safety pins, washers, etc)
7. Thou shalt have a taste for the obscure (If I have to tell you why, then you're not a hipster)
8. Thou shalt own the appropriate accessories


9. Thou shalt only shop where not-for-profits can benefit too
10. And finally, thou shalt NEVER conform to labels



Any others?

Hipsterism always confused me; I never quite understood it.

Only a hipster would say that! (Rule#10 is strong with this one!)

Thou shalt ironically wear thy knit cap whilst taking up two hours of table space in thy local coffee shop whilst blogging about Big Pharma and nursing the smallest latte on the menu.

Boru, how sure are you that it doesn't take one to know one

I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I can tell a hawk from a handsaw.  👍

Though shalt let everyone knoweth how concerneth though be-eth for The environment and then proceedeth to talketh in full length of that life-changing trip though tooketh through asia or australia or Europe and which tooketh a forest-fire worth of gas to geteth though there.

[FatAndFaithless]

#11: Thou shalt ignore the obvious irony of claiming to hate labels while self-identifying as a hipster and following the accompanying behavior requirements.

I have no idea what a hipster is, but this thread is funny anyway
