Rednecks, food snobs, yuppies, baby boomers, b-boys, gangstas, soccer moms, Obamamaniacs, Paulites, NYC bicycle weirdos, etc don't seem to be ashamed of falling into their little niche, and readily boast about it in most cases. To be a hipster is to not want to be a hipster, for every hipster knows that, deep inside, everyone else wants to be a hipster too. I shall cite Calvin as further proof: H : "What are you doing?" C : "Being cool." H : "You look more like you're bored." C : "The world bores you when you're cool." interestingly, it seems that hipsters are the only group I can think of that won’t admit to being in the group.

To be a hipster is to not want to be a hipster, for every hipster knows that, deep inside, everyone else wants to be a hipster too.

I shall cite Calvin as further proof:

H : “What are you doing?”
C : “Being cool.”
H : “You look more like you’re bored.”
C : “The world bores you when you’re cool.”
