hipster

One crucial point is often overlooked in these definitions. HIPSTERS COME FROM SUBURBAN OR RURAL AREAS AND REINVENT THEMSELVES UPON ARRIVING IN BROOKLYN. If you were born and raised in lower Manhattan or south Brooklyn you are not a hipster. People will try to push us true New Yorkers into that group but we are different. I'll call "us" New York cool kids. We're into different things. We don't like being cheap always and doing indie stuff. Our sense of taste wasn't learned at age 20, we have had it since a young age since we've grown up in this city. Think the movie "Kids" versus "Garden State," "Kids" being us and "Garden State" being hipsters. Another tell tale sign of a New York cool kid is that we like New York hip-hop a lot because it was what we grew up on. Mob Deep, Diplomats, etc... We don't like Miike Snow etc... Also we know the real network of people that are on the scene and doing things in the art, fashion, and nightlife worlds. We go to the new clubs on opening night because we're best friends with the owner. Hipsters are broke faggots who create some kind of "cool" world with other broke ass nobodies. NYC cool kids get money. We are street kids or hang with street kids. Our parents are the people who were born here or moved here in the early 80's. To us the most important part of our identity is to have grown up in the city.
