Wait, then doesn't that mean that being a geek is the opposite of being a stereotypical hipster?
I think so?
Like....I never got the hipster hate. I understand hating non-conformist douchebags. But then again, geeks hating on hipsters for being interested in things few people are interested in is hypocritical and counter-counter-cultured....cultured.
It is. I can understand being irritated at trend-chasers who act like what they like makes them better than other people, but there's a fine line between resenting that and resenting people for liking things that you do not. Many a "geek" (in the sense identified above) has been called a "hipster" by people who far more closely fit the stereotyped definition of that term.
At least, that's how I see it. I get all squeal-y about stuff that I like regardless of whether or not other people think it "cool."
