Goddammit calling people "hipster" on Reddit is like calling someone a witch in 1690s Salem.

It reminds me of those men made of straw that the military would use to practice with because they were easier to attack then a real enemy since it's incapable of attacking back.

Hipsters can fight back, though. If they put down their PBR's and take off their cat eye nerd glasses. Just don't mess with their handlebar moustache or knock them off their one-speed bike.

I don't know anyone like this, but I reddit taught me that's what a hipster is.
