A Hipster Mouse

Jkm12someothernumbers was wondering if the mouse on the right in this photo is a "hipster".

According to my reliable source, urbandictionary.com, "Hipsters are a subculture of men and women typically in their 20's and 30's that value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter. The greatest concentrations of hipsters can be found living in the Williamsburg, Wicker Park, and Mission District neighborhoods of major cosmopolitan centers such as New York, Chicago, and San Francisco respectively. Although "hipsterism" is really a state of mind,it is also often intertwined with distinct fashion sensibilities. Hipsters reject the culturally-ignorant attitudes of mainstream consumers, and are often be seen wearing vintage and thrift store inspired fashions, tight-fitting jeans, old-school sneakers, and sometimes thick rimmed glasses. Both hipster men and women sport similar androgynous hair styles that include combinations of messy shag cuts and asymmetric side-swept bangs. Such styles are often associated with the work of creative stylists at urban salons, and are usually too "edgy" for the culturally-sheltered mainstream consumer. The "effortless cool" urban bohemian look of a hipster is exemplified in Urban Outfitters and American Apparel ads which cater towards the hipster demographic."
hopefully that clears things up jkm!I'm not promoting smoking with this picture! this is purely just to illustrate the portrait of some hipsters!




note: although this mouse is wearing a shirt of che, under no circumstance would I support che guevara.

P.S. a note to any hipsters reading this- I mean no disrespect to your kind at all with this post! I love you people and your skinny jeans and coffee shop lovingness! Hipsters are cooool. :)
