  the first step is to not want to be a hipster, and indeed to regard hipsters with contempt, while priding yourself in your authenticity

  @Tachyon
  
  Hmm, I am working on it. But wouldn't snarking at hipsters and at my own desire to be one, and wanting to be one ironically, be sufficient?

  anything is permissible if you do it ironically, no matter how counterintuitive or contradictory it might be

  The reasons I think it would be good for my mental health:
  
  1) I would be less worried for my lack of achievement - if anything, I might take pride in it as it signifies refusal to take part in The System
  2) I would be less worried about job, which currently stresses me greatly, as it is normal for hipster to drift from job to job and take none seriously
  3) It would be good for me to take life less seriously, in general
  4) It would improve my abysmally low self-esteem
  5) I am already snarky, ironic and contradictory, might as well have a justification
  6) Speaking of justification - fancy coffee!
  
  All of the above is said with an even amount of seriousness and facetiousness. Am I on the right track?

  Let me tell you. About Fallen London.

  You've already been to Portland, I don't know if you have to do anything else.

  “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

  Live there and grow a beard?

  I'd like to! On both counts. The second looks vaguely more possible

  “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

  If all else fails, make a vaporwave album and ride around on a penny farthing.

  For once, or maybe twice, I was in my prime.

  A proper hipster.
  

  
  
  The first challenge on your epic quest: define "proper hipster".

  
  

  The second challenge: get someone else to agree with your definition.

  Doesn't trying to be a hipster automatically preclude you from being a hipster?
  
• Beholder

  2014-02-17 11:06:34

  It seems so. But how do I become a hipster then?

  trying to be a hipster can make you into a hipster, but it will not make you into a hipster.

  ^ saying things like tha,t are incidentally a good start. soon you will be like me and going to house parties full of anarchists and doing a spoken word performance and dancing to vaporwave, and having large in depth conversations about the merits of Berlin techno.
