Twelve Things Hipsters Ruined For The Rest Of Us

Hipsters are everywhere.

Regularly found hanging out having a coffee, wearing thick framed spectacles, scratching their overgrown beards as they decide whether or not to cycle to the nearest vintage shop and invest in something old-school, like a waistcoat or limited edition vinyl records.

Soon there’ll be nothing left for the rest of us, after the hipsters have stolen everything that was once legitimately cool.

So hip it hurts. Here are 11 things Hipsters ruined for us 'mainstream' folk.

 

Glasses

Opticians must be rolling in it, every hipster and their cat have a pair of spectacles these days. Don’t even get us started on those who wear lens-less frames, we have no words for those people. They're too cool for us to even speak about.

 

Bikes

Cycling is not a sport anymore. It is a statement.

 

Comic Books

There was a time when liking comic books and anything associated with the topic was deemed 'nerdy.' These days everyone wants a bit of Bruce Wayne. 

 

Scarves

 

No outfit is complete without the unnecessary mismatching scarf thrown over ones edgy vintage ensemble.

 

Sushi

 

Sandwiches are so mainstream.

 

Coffee

 

Lurking in a coffee shop near you is a hipster, with an iPhone, uploading images of their cappuccino to Instagram. Guaranteed.

 

Hats

Ah, the effortless cool beanie hat, a staple piece in every hipster’s wardrobe. Not forgetting to mention the I’m-wearing-a-bowler-hat-just-because. They've even stolen Laurel and Hardy's favourite accessory too... there really is no stopping them. 

Converse

Macklemore wrote a song about wearing purchases from his local thrift shop. Often modest Macklemore finds himself looking incredible in your Granddad’s clothes, completing the look with a pair of old-school converse of course.

 

Facial Hair

‘Movember’ is every month of the year. And rumour has it, men measure 'Hipsterness' in the length and gingerness of ones beard.

 

The Aran Jumper

Grannies everywhere are holding up their knitting needles in sheer delight.

 

Waistcoats

 

Dressed in their Sunday best. Everyday of the week.

 

Dickie bows and Other Accessories

Black-tie events everywhere have been ruined; lads are wearing dickie bows to bed these days.

 

PLEASE NOTE: If you have agreed with six of more of these points, you are more than likely also a hipster.
