Time to evaluate myself:
- I often go out of my way to dress in a way that doesn't conform to every-day standards. But I am not doing it for the "hipster cause." I dress so I don't feel like I am being absorbed into the grain of life. I like to feel nice in my clothes, and I like to feel different.
- I drink copious amounts of tea. I always thought it was coffee the hipsters like, but no, apparently they drink tea, too. *deep sigh*
- I like old things like type writers and stuff. But I always have. Ask my dad. It's a strange obsession of mine. It includes boxes of any kind. I love cans and jars and tins. Containers, really. So my love of the vintage is not hipster, really.
- I listen to a lot of smaller artists. But it's because I like them. And I don't go out of my way to discover the tiniest underground band like some people. I also do listen to pop.
- I don't use instagram
- I am only on the fandom side of tumblr
- I do not frequent coffee shops. In fact, I go out of my way to avoid public confrontation.
- I do not collect records or eclectic art.
I don't want to be grouped with a bunch of pretentious assholes. Simply put, I live to satisfy my own expectations of myself. However, some of these facts about me may conform to the whole "hipster" image.
So am I a hipster?
No, that's stupid. I refuse to be called a hipster.
