So You Think You're a Hipster?: Cautionary case studies from the city streets

Skinny jeans? Check. Thrift-store finds? Check. Non-prescription glasses? Check. Beanie perched just right? Check. These are the unmistakable markers of the modern-day hipster, a group of young urbanites who claim to embrace alternative lifestyles while ironically striving for originality and creativity. So You Think You’re a Hipster? takes a humorous dive into the world of these trendsetters, who are as eager to impress their peers as they are to receive their next rent check from mom and dad. Through a series of witty case studies, this book dissects the subculture with sharp observations, helping you navigate the hipster phenomenon. Meet the thrift-store aficionado still dreaming of Pitchfork fame while selling worn-out sneakers at absurd prices, the aspiring writer who insists on using a typewriter for her spontaneous musings, and the ironic moustache enthusiast who prides himself on his unique look—just like all his graphic designer friends.
