self-loathing hipster but when maximo park's 'apply some pressure' comes on Im momentarily tempted to wiggle but quickly think better of it.

Sven: After I wrote something trashing the LES, you called me the most annoying person on the planet. I responded that it was obvious you never hung out with Gilbert Gottfried (how many impressions of Bea Arthur getting off thinking about Bill Macy can one hear?). You responded, "touchÃƒÂ©, my good friend, touchÃƒÂ©". In any event, it wasn't a big deal and we had a good laugh. Especially when someone suggested you may be bitter your mom dropped an "e" from your name but hoped your other six siblings had their names spelled right. (Gilbert, if you're reading this, yeah, I'm trashing you. Why? 'Cause I'm still not over the fact you tried to get G. Gordon Liddy to kick my ass 14 years ago. That was just sick. Funny, but sick.)

what, no extra point for knowing the name of the band the couple who own rejoice are in? this quiz has no cred. (it's blood on the wall, poseurs.)

This test is BUNK! I scored a two, and I should fit into the hipster holding pen, more so than people with higher scores. Not that I want to be grouped in with them. I'm like Bea Arthur's dick...waaay under the radar!

I own two pairs of cowboy boots, but I have no idea what all the rest is/means.

the fact that he didn't even mention cokie's or john street bar leads me to believe that this guy has no idea what the fuck he's talking about.

ok. file this under the Miseducation of TAN. Apparently negro-hipsters abound. though it still seems a little redundant to me. And apparently I'm going to the wrong parties, and meeting the wrong girls, cause there's not nearly enough nudity going on in my cipher. So instead of negro-hipsters coming by TAN, make it girls who like negroes but are tired of the hipster part. Come on over and bring your "Last Night's Party" portfolio with you. wordemup

Merlin Bronques, aka Last Night's Party, is a negro hipster. Same with the guitarist in Pretty Girls Make Graves. Go to a show at Northsix and you'll always spot a couple. But, you know, I'm color blind so...uh....yeah.

The Assimilated Negro — Wed, 07 Dec 2005 13:17:51 EST

This looks like it's written in Sanskrit. Though I have been to after-party at Happy Ending. But the seemingly obligatory question I have to ask is - can negroes be hipsters? I don't think so, right? I mean the whole point is for hipsters to condescend and be hipper than everyone else. But they can't do that with negroes, because they'll get their skinny asses kicked (post-ironically of course), plus to be negro is to be inherently hip/cool (not to stereotype or anything) ... if there are negro hipsters out there, please come by TAN and make yourself known, I want to explore the negro-hipster phenomenon more if such people actually exist.

15 points. Self loathing, perhaps, but that's only because I can't find a leotard as cute as Mr. Fantastic's. They don't sell that stuff at Bergdorf!

Perfect - of course Mr.25 would never get the message - reading, "doesn't, y'know, do anything," for him.

Even worse, I just read the definition of "Hipster Messiah". Guess I have to go all Ian Curtis right now.

I answered yes to # 19 but only because I'm her brother and we got into an arguement over who was going to clean the dishes at my parents house after Shabbos dinner. Meanwhile, I got 11 points... crap. I'm a hipster. I think the only way anyone can offset it is to write a check to the RNC.
