Oh, but then you’re the much-maligned hipster.
- djtango 10mo agoI introduced myself to my now wife as an accidental hipster: - I brewed my own kombucha (I have GI issues and I am so lactose intolerant that even kefir and yoghurt would give me a reaction) - I ride a bicycle everywhere (I exercise daily and like to stay active, bicycle is often the fastest way around London) - I buy expensive locally farmed produce (the quality is usually night and day vs other sources) There were plenty of other signals by which I superficially seem like a hipster but my wife would attest I'm the opposite of an actual one. In the words of my ever wise mother "keep the good bits, leave the rest"

- DrewADesign 10mo agoI can't think of any. The upside is that people who think it's weird to not reflexively consume mass-market garbage identify themselves voluntarily, which makes it much easier to avoid them.
