The Hipsters

Are an urban tribe whose storyline goes back to early last century. In order to identify the main features is good detail the historical events that led to his birth:

-1917 Converse shoe presents its "All-Star", which will be maintained thereafter between popularity and infamy intermittently.

The skinny jeans, trucker caps, lenses pasta, shirts with slogan, Blue Ribbon beer, the Vans and Converse are renegades by the media and Hipsters themselves but remain massively consumed by ordinary people and others that are considered "cool". (Excerpt from Time Out New York. May 2007)

So what is a hipster?

The Hipster is "someone who has tastes and social attitudes that gentecool considered as such. (Note: When you use the word loses all possibility coolse be). The Hipster walks among the mass daily but is not part of this . Evita and demonizes anything that the bulk of the population considers interesting. Ideally possesses no more than 2% of body mass. " (Lanham, The Hipster Handbook. 2003)

How to detect? (According to the University Chronicle article, April 2009)

1. - Talk mode question: Will you go to the store? This may tend to confuse you because you never know if you ask the opinion or just do not know articulated.

2. - Listen to Indie music in which the singer often sounds bored or drugged.

3. - I like movies of Wes Anderson and Terry Gilliam. Debate on the cinema of the French New Wave and documentaries are like a wet dream for him instantly gives them useless knowledge and a false sense of superiority.

4. - Look for Thrift Shop: This is perhaps one of its most peculiar because although it appears that the hipster does not buy used clothing stores. Your cost bohemian look (their parents) more than you earn in two months.

5. - They will walk in bicletas setentoso design.

6. - Defend the environment, the right to criticize and make you feel guilty if you have a car. But invariably prefer to take them to go by bike.

7. - His knowledge of television culture is particularly impressive because the hipster NO TELEVISION. For them, if the visual garbage looking at a computer screen will not do the same damage.

8. - I love movies the foreign languages, especially English subtitles (has all the Criterion Collection)

9. - You are vegetarian repeated a hundred times how good they are organic food compared to what you are eating.

In May 2007 the magazine Time Out New York declared the Tribe Hipster Non Grata ina city special edition tituladaEl Hipster Must Die. The writer Robert Lanham (author of The Guide sin of the evangelical right, the Food Court Druids and Hipster Handbook) ensured that even then elHipster had died. "My book was an attempt to unmask the pseudo-bohemian movement. Indicated that there hipsters I understand that cultural trends end when they reach the ground .  

At last i just want to conclude expressing that the tolerance with every single type of  subcultural expressions it´s important  because they have the liberty to live their lifes  like young people  , they  just want to be part of something .
