Feel free to send however many hipsters you want from southern to northern CA - won't bother me any, as they're highly unlikely to move to Marin county.
I guess I missed the mark by a mile, kind of like you did assuming we're mad. Happy Holidays

Don't get too comfortable though, people are getting more knowledgable in repairing VW buses, its only a matter of time until their range is extended to the north bay!

This actually made me laugh - nicely done. I can only hope this happens, as then I'll have more people to not be mad at in my general vicinity.

IMO a hipster is someone that tries too hard to fit in to a particular niche because they think its cool, rather than them actually having a passion for it (aka poser). Posers/hipsters have been around a long time and I wouldn't confine them to the way a few people dress in SF.

That said,

I'm starting to think buzzword is hipster. Either that or a typical Marin resident.

kind of like people who put performance parts in their car, only to list it on some forum and take pictures of the finished product to show it off...not really using it to it's full potential?

Although you do make a very good point (only a few things have influenced my personal style)...

I am a severe Subaru fanboy, and will always wear Subaru stuff, especially the newer stuff that seems "good enough" to me to get. In a sense, I'm a "Subaru hipster".

Problem is, isn't being "hip" supposed to be cool? I look like a f***ing nerd because of my Subaru merchandise. And despite looking so uncool, I wear it proudly.


As for style...

function > fashion

I don't like buying jeans from huge chain stores, but army surplus stores (so they don't rip apart on me every f***ing year!)

And Subarus seem to follow the same philosophy, they have AWD and many consider them "ugly" (but the styling is subjective)
