The Hipster Defined By "The Hipster Handbook"

Hipster - One who possesses tastes, social attitudes, and opinions deemed cool by the cool. (Note: it is no longer recommended that one use the term "cool"; a Hipster would instead say "deck.") The Hipster walks among the masses in daily life but is not a part of them and shuns or reduces to kitsch anything held dear by the mainstream. A Hipster ideally possesses no more than 2% body fat. Are you or are you not a hipster? If you have to ask you're probably midtown and not deck enough to walk among the hipster cronkites and tassels. You know what I mean?
