Who to choose? It's so hard since each of you is hipster in their own way.
Typically, it seems to me they also have to order beer you have never heard of or taste like shit. Tea you have never heard of or taste like shit. OR they only drink coffee black and not just store bought coffee, FANCY coffee. Usually, they will not speak to you in a bar, but sit with their hipster friends, out hipstering each other, and glare at anyone having fun.
Oh and I thought each of you fit into these a bit, the funny parts, not the bad parts, of course.
I'm guessing most of the people voting Nod have not actually met him
My qualifications for judging someone doesn't including meeting them first or really knowing anything about them at all. I talked to him for at least 20 seconds and I've met KM and GL so I think I am more than justified to lump him in a category.

Here we go.
I voted for NoD for two reasons. 1) Karosko isn't on the list. Karosko would win easily in a head to head. 2) GL is the Hipster Messiah, so he is more than a mere hipster. As such, I feel it would be blasphemous to vote for him.

This.
I've hung out with him at two Roos now. Nothing about him reminds me of the overused term hipster. I think of him more like this guy...
I'm the one who "Beta Bands" the sh*t out of MMJ's It Still Moves, though
Even though I don't think any of these guys are hipsters, I voted for NoD because his musical tastes are most in line with hipster tastes. Definitely not a hipster in general, though. He's too nice. Hipsters are d*cks.
You guys are missing the true meaning of a "hipster," I think.
The advertising industry invented the idea of being a "hipster" to force bored and angsty suburban teenage trust fund babies to buy products they don't need in order to "identify" with a cultural revolution that never happened, and was never about anything. Just spending their money at urban outfitters as opposed to polo, and to make old obsolete products "hip" and "ironic" in order to escape their yuppie futures, not realizing all they are doing is pouring money into the very machine they are hoping to rebel against. Simply brilliant marketing. They're also insufferably snide and arrogant, and not in a clever and/or funny way like any of the above contestants. I don't really think anyone above is a true hipster, but I feel I should vote, so I vote Gland.
Not for the tats, or the glasses, or the encyclopedic knowledge of music, or even the favorite genres. It was the fixed gear bike.
