Alright boys and girls. I live in the wonderful town that is Austin Texas.

As of lately Austin has had a lot of america's / jalopnik's eyes on it. Full of judgment as all people are but I want to address the "Fuckn Hipsters"

After living in Austin for 3-4 years now and Austin being number 7 on the forbes list for most hipster cities in the US. I can say a few things but I only have one point.

The point I have is any piece of clothing or tattoos or volvo wagon (yes Jalopnik your not the only people to like these cars) can be pulled off with the correct amount of confidence.

I think this is why this younger generation of "hipsters" is so capable of making uncool things cool. It's because they rock those suspenders , mustache tattoos , beards , and volvo wagons so well it makes you want a beard, mustache tattoo , suspenders , because now they have made a uncool thing cool. = Hipsters.

Wow, the hipster level is too damn high with this Hipster Jm J. Bullock guy. The palm tattoo is pushing it, but neck tattoo? You're a grown man, a father, and haven't spent a day in the joint, you silly fuckup. This had better be Brooklyn. Because otherwise the hipster level is off the f'ing charts.

I heard there was a lot of homeless people in New York, but I had no idea it was so serious.

But yeah, I think the actual earnest generation of kids who just DGAF are pushing the boundaries and you're right: they're capable of it and do manage to make it look cool.

Spacers that big have never, and will never look good, or be cool.

Don't even get me started on septum piercings.

We both know being part of this oppositelocking that volvos are cool but you and I have both known that for awhile now. When I'm at Chipolte and I hear the 20 something blonde hipster queen tell her friend she wants a old volvo wagon... Ummm sir that's when we have a problem .

I didn't answer your question tho.

I had a hipster on a bicycle kick my car the other day because I pulled through the bike crosswalk to try and give him some room rather than blocking it entirely.

If I ever see him again I might rip his throat out... Or have a strong discussion about how he should respect other people's property and he should realize that when it's 7PM he's hard to see if he's wearing dark clothing and maybe I was just trying to make it a little easier to get by me.

I think the latter is probably the better option here.

Every time I'm in downtown Austin, I wish my car would magically turn into this lol. I have my idiotic and childish reason :]

Was this in Austin !? I witnessed a biker take his helmet off and break someone's side mirror because they almost ran him over. Granted they were in a BMW and they totally almost killed him on their cell phone.

Warranted. Though I make fun of hipsters constantly, many persons say I resemble a hipster and if there's one sort of aggression that will not stand, man, it's auto-on-bicycle assault, especially the BMW variety. Glad the dude weaponized his lid.

No, this was in FL. Colleges breed hipsters, and I live down the street from one.

I was on my way home from work, and was in a right turn lane (not that FL allows "right on red"). So I pull up to see if I can go and here comes some fucking hipster on his one speed screaming across the road with no regard for traffic. So, I try to pull ahead so that he can go behind me. He has plenty of room.

And then as he gets behind my car he stops, kicks my bumper and yells something or other.

I was less than pleased.

Hey, are we going to split heirs here? He's her grandson. But no. No, I didn't get it. I suspected a photochop later, but just couldn't wrap my mind around who it was.

Haha yeah, grandson. It was a pretty clean shop, it took me minute to realize who it was.

That western belt is genius. As is his Hessian hair and the fact that Kate suddenly looks like Snooki.

You're right, actually. Their parents never told them they look, sound, or are acting like an idiot...so they have tons of misplaced confidence. But they absolutely do look, sound, and act like idiots.

Where in FL? That's a ballsy thing to do in South Florida...

About 75 miles north of Miami. West Palm Beach Area.

Remember when top gear did the road trip where they bought cars in Miami? That race track they went to is about 20 minutes from where I live.

PBIR?

I'm a Miami alum. Having lived there for four years, I would not kick any cars.

Currently sitting in my office with my hipster glasses, shirt buttoned all the way up with no tie & a blazer on. #BiznessHipster I also unabashedly rock my Crossfire.

How stupid did he have to be to kick a fucking car? Dude, it weighs 25 times what you do.

I've been down there twice (only once was for SXSW, lol) and wow, I'm part hipster and I don't think I could take living there. I feel like I wanted to puke irony after walking around the city for a day.
