Such people are the true "cool cats" of the world. They're those "in the know", ahead of the norm. They're not of the mainstream. They be eternal beatniks! (And certainly not hippies). Yes, they're people who are-- or at least consider themselves to be-- "hip", as in "hip to the jive". Older hip hipsters will of course always look down on latter-day versions, those (younger) folks who think themselves to be hipsters simply because, for instance, they're able to exhibit a little facial peach-fuzz and have a taste for some generic pop music that they've deemed to be, umm, "non-corporate". Hah!
Hipsters, flipsters,
and finger-poppin' daddies:
Knock me your lobes.
This bit of hipsterism was written by "Lord Buckley" (Richard 'Lord' Buckley'), who was a singular, amazingly influencial (Caucasian!) comic genius that looked a little like Salvador Dali, affected a British accent, dressed in a tux and was best known as one who performed hipster interpretations/translations of well-known dramatic scenes and notable speeches.
The above quote comes from Lord Buckley's version of the very beginning of Mark Anthony's funeral oration in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar:
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones...

Get the Hipstersaurus Rex mug.Take the purest and simplest of things and transform them into an infernal tangle of complexity in order to call it their own.
I used to understand what beer (pizza, coffee, pâté, tea, pot, hash, a beard, soap etc) was until the Hipsters got their paws on it.

Get the Hipsters mug.This is a special breed of sheep who have 100% organic wool, infected with hipsterpes. They were bred by Niklaus Purel (the same guy who invented Purel hand sanitizer) He wanted to design a breed of sheep where he could harvest a new strain of virus, which he could use to raise the sales of Purel hand sanitizer. He didn't realize that this new strain of herpes, would become so virulent that even his cleaning product could not destroy the virus. Bred for their wool for the manufacture of wool cardigans and other types of sweaters, hipstersheep have become a serious threat for North-America. If you ever spot a hipstersheep, you should report it to your local authorities immediately.
Part of an actual news report featured on ACN: "It has been proven that hipstersheep are responsible for the recent spread of hipsterpes throughout America. The virus evolved and can now spread from human to human via bodily fluids. Be careful when dealing with this animal."
