I used it right!
1800's little handles on a coffin were called "huckles", an English term. Instead of pallbearers the people who carried the coffin were called "hucklebearers" at the funeral.
As in we're enemies, or, I'll bury you....you ruined it. Sigh.
Also, your day just ruined my whole weekend. I have to babysit on Saturday and then help Dad cut firewood for next year. DAMMIT! I don't even live there and they're putting me to work! Last time I visit for awhile.

Also, @Conley, guess I missed your post. It would take more than PBR to make you a hipster. I would say if you can identify with 5 or more traits on that board, you're a hipster. Being actually broke and wanting a beer is not it....people drink Natty Boh here though. Not PBR.

That isn't correct, Matt. A huckleberry, here, refers to an average Joe. When Ringo tried to pick a fight, Doc replied that he was his huckleberry, meaning he was his man.

I only discovered this today at work when we were talking about tunnel ear peircings. I know a few of you are from Portland so I immediately thought of posting here, and then I find this hipster hate thread! Perfect!

Now, slay the hipsters and take their place at my side, it is your destiny. Just as they slayed the hipsters before them for not being hip enough, so now the cycle continues.
All is according to plan.

Religious suffering Hipsterism is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering hipness and a protest against real suffering hipness. Religion Ironic self-consciousness is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium Salvia of the people.

To quote Rennie:
I dunno, the hipsters who dress like Dickens characters crack me up. They are cool guys and they don't mind when you laugh at them looking like Dickens characters. But it's the nature of being a hipster to do such strange things that other hipsters (who, mind you, never self apply the term) think "wow, those guys are such lame hipsters"
I'm sure that the Dickens guys think that my whole schtick is just as lame.

Ok, so I have a confession. I may be a hipster.
I had a talk with a friend over lunch yesterday and he thinks I am such a hardcore hipster that I hate other hipsters for not being hipster enough.
The evidence:
I listen primarily to a sub genre of music in a genre that no one has listened to for 50 years at least.
I wear a lot of black.
I hate Lady Gaga (apparently all hipsters hate her without exception, however, my hate is irrational)
I refuse to wear what other hipsters do. Scarves, dumb glasses ect because they're too trendy. Instead I go with black, or flannel or something because it's not trendy.
I hate fauxtavism. The fact that I even know the term is another indication.
I have an aloof manner and a sarcastic, dry sense of humor riddled with irony.
I like 'lost generation' authors (he apparently thinks I masturbate to Hemingway.)
I am a writer.
I actually enjoy Natty Boh
There is of course other things......but if I am a hipster, I am the most hardcore one alive and so elitist that other hipsters aren't cool enough. Yeah, I'm going to kill myself in an ironic way now.

Shit I think this thread is on to something. It's all a hipster conspiracy.
- I own a pair of black nut hugger jeans.
- I approve of PBR.

- I follow the ideals of Fight Club on a literal level.
- I'm a writer.
- I hate cool bands after they go mainstream.
- Checkered Vans shoes.
- A lot of time wasted in Heines Bros Coffee.
- I just want to screw Hipster chicks.

I get the feeling that being a hipster is a lifestyle choice like hip-hop. The clothes, glasses and hating anything mainstream is symbolic of the lifestyle like platinum, Bentleys and blunts are symbolic to hip-hop.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I think being a writer automatically puts all of us in the hipster category. Maybe we aren't full blown hipsters, but I think we're all there in our own little way. And, aren't we basically doing the same thing as they are by hating on them? Seems hyprocritical to me.

Right. Most writers (I mean people who make a living at it) aren't "hip."
