    So why not just hire models and change the title to LOOK AT THESE UNEMPLOYED ACTORS PRETENDING TO BE INSECURE AND IRONIC?

    Cheapskates.

    That's funny. Maybe the author deserves a book that can be nothing but inauthentic when he's based the whole thing off of judging other people.

    Sigh. Who will be the Charlie Manson of the hipster epoch?

    And when, Lord, when ALREADY!

    @BookishLookish: There can't be one, because no true hipster is a self-identified hipster. Which is why they're so funny.

    But the trend is dying anyway. Hipsterism is going mainstream (Gap ads, tweens in neon wayfarers), which automatically makes it lame.

    @BBooms: Wait. Neon Wayfarers are lame now?

    That means - by my fashion recycling timeline calendar - it's only a matter of months before my old Starter jacket is back in.

    Yesssss!

    @BookishLookish: vincent gallo, some time next year when the attention level hits a nadir. lock the doors to your downtown creative living space ladies. also - in the vein of fixed-gear bicycles, would a hipster buy a single-shot 12-gauge for home defense?

    Fun fact: 233 Norman Avenue in Greenpoint is where the first hipster fossil was discovered (a 1997 green, low-top Converse All-Star with "PLO" written in black magic marker on the front).

    @Richard Petty Bourgeoisie: Stuck to it: a back issue of Stay Free! via a wad of Bubble Yum. Also traces of really stepped-on coke and the tears of both Leonard Cohen and Richard Hell.

    There have been a lot of tooth-whitening ads popping up on various sites I've hit, and one has one person's two front-and-center teeth, one white, one yellow. I assumed it was photoshop before-and-after, since there was no big diving line or something. But looking at JG here, perhaps that's a new look?

    How could someone proof-read that once, and not see "Cokes" instead of "Chokes"? I smell a rat.

    Are we sure that it's a typo? I mean, he does have some pot-lip going on there at the very least. So coke isn't out of the realm of possibility,
