It all depends on what type of hat you had on

At this point, "Hipster" is basically a term douchebags use when they want an excuse to be gratuitously aggressive towards someone and feed their persecution complexes by acting like random people they have never met before are for some reason trying to ruin their life. "ARRRGGGHH! This guys is wearing THICK-RIMMED GLASSES!! I take it personally for some reason!!" I especially love how people who use that term are apparently convinced that Hipsters only use retro products and obscure alternatives to popular ones... yet apparently all Hipsters are constantly on their iPhones, which are pretty much the polar opposite of both retro and obscure. See also: Emos, Goths, Hippies, Juggalos... and for some reason people who wear fedoras now.

In my travels, I've found that anyone who gets upset about being called a hipster, is usually a hipster, but they don't want to be labeled as one.

Me and my sister were walking down a street and some guy drove by us and shouted "HIPSTERS" at us. She does have the proper glasses for the part, while I had long hair, a beard and was wearing a shirt that says "Who Gives a Shark" so I guess we deserve it.

I tend to think of hipsters as an aesthetic thing, anybody into facial hair care and intentionally understated/ironic fashion or music, not so much as a term for "elitist jerk". So yeah, maybe they were technically right, but also in the wrong for trying to make it seem like a bad thing.

Fedoras aren't cool anymore? So does that make me uncool for digging them, or cool that I like them even though they aren't cool? Such a hipster thing to ask, I know. No... you have to wear a trilby and call it a fedora

Yeah it's a word I don't lend much credence to because no one really has a consensus about what a hipster even is. Even though even I'll occasionally see a picture of a guy wearing a shoe for a hat with his shoelaces acting as a chinstrap and I'll instinctually think "Alright well that's gotta be a hipster." Still though it's pretty funny getting drive-by heckled.

I think the more negatively you react to the label 'hipster' the more you probably are one. People call me a hipster all the time, but I like the label. "I love to drink organic cold brew coffee." "YOU HIPSTER!" "Yup." "Sorry man, I only wear ethically made clothes." "Pft, what a hipster man." "You are correct, sir!" "So I was at the Farmer's Market the other day and..." "Farmer's market? What are you? Some kinda hipster?" "Yes. Only us hipsters get the fresh produce. GET ON BOARD MAN!!!" I just think people take the label way too seriously. It just means whats trendy or hip amongst youngish, generally city-dwelling, people of a certain income. Don't get all bent out of shape about it...ya hipster.

The mockery of "Hipsters", at least here where they are abundant, is the try-hard aspect of their image/dress and the fact they all emulate each other thus destroying the counter-culture image some want to convey. They just look stupid sometimes. Like someone put on clothes from the summer and winter clothes pile simultaneously from a 1980's school lost and found. It's completely harmless. But they do look idiotic.

I'm in my mid 30's. If I was trying to be hip and with it, no one would call me a hipster; they'd just call me an old man.

Also, if you're watching a Project X make it the Matthew Broderick space chimp one. Way better film.

And fedoras rock. But I saw a dude wearing his grandmother's purple knitted winter coat, a straw hat, and cowboy boots with skinny jeans. I don't care what the label is, that looks ridiculous and laughable. There's no way he's dressing that idiotic without doing so only for attention.
