I'm not a hipster, but I can play one on TV.

OK, here's the problem I have with hipster culture: by rejecting everything generally regarded as "cool" and latching onto anything NOT cool or fashionable, all that stuff now becomes "hipster." Let's face it, everyone here is a hipster. We detest mainstream music, no one here could be called a slave to fashion, and we almost all "dabble in acoustic guitar." In fact, if "non-cool" is the definition of hipster, these guys are hipsters: I would say we, and the guys in the picture are not hipsters. Niether of us know enough about what to detest to be able to be against it. We're just clueless.

That's not magic. That's elastic.

I'm exempt. As it was explained to me, if you have a beard and wear plaid shirts and hiking boots you're a hipster unless you live in Minnesota. Then you're just normal.

Hey--I had a beatnik friend when I was in high school. (I was whatever we had instead of nerds in 1958, and thus automatically ineligible for beatnik status. I did, however, own and wear a loden green porkpie trilby with a Madras band and a jaunty orange feather.)
