Hipstermobile

A hipstermobile is a form of ironic transportation, used primarily to transport two people -- usually a hipster and his or her iPhone -- between various locales or events that the hipster deems to be important. It is a type of bicycle, specifically of a single speed with fixed gears, also known as a "fixie". Often, the bicycle chassis is painted over with a single solid color using spray paint. This eliminates the brand name from the bicycle, which might otherwise clash with the hispter's "local is better" ethos, and also because the spray paint amplifies the hipster's urban-chic identity.

The hipster sits on a banana seat closer to the rear wheel of the hipstermobile while the iPhone sits on the handlebar in a specially-designed mount, available through Amazon.com. Whilst pedalling the hipstermobile, the hipster will issue voice commands to the iPhone. Typical commands include:

"Take a photo of this ironic building and post it to my Tumblr."
"Use Wikipedia to find a virtually unknown folk band from circa 1982 and then Tweet it to everyone who follows me."
"Is there a free BYOB arts & crafts festival in a two-mile radius of my current location?"
"Go into my draft folder and send that plea for more money to my parents."

Hipstermobiles are often spotted near cafes and post-gentrification diners, near arts & crafts festivals, and in parks during normal peoples' working hours.
Dude, I just saw a grown man sitting on the curb crying. He looked to be cradling an iPhone that had fallen to its death from the handlebar of his hipstermobile. He couldn't even update his status to tell anyone about what had happened!

Hipster Hug

When a flannel pearl snap shirt wearing, fedora sporting, 5 o'clock shadow rocking mid-twenty year old with thick rimmed glasses and rolled up pant legs (you know so they dont catch on my bike) grabs two cups of coffee and hops on a vespa and stares you down with that "Im better than you look" as he drives away listening to crappy acoustic music.
Guy: Dude what was all that?
Girl: He just gave us a hipster hug <3!!!!
Guy: We should see other people.

Guy: "Man my pants keep brushing against this cut I have on my leg"
Friend: "Just hipster roll it for now, no one will care."

Guy: "Did you see that guy? He had a hipster roll and he was walking!"

hipster porn

"Yeah, I saw it. Looks like a bunch of hipster porn to me."
