My friend Mike is the male model they used for all of the photos. He's actually a pretty cool dude. He used to intern at and later work for Paste. Thought it was hilarious that they were using him to model.

ha thats good. i fucking hate hipsters.

hahahah


ever notice that they just keep getting more and more ridiculous as the years go by?

What on earth possesses them?

I actually see perfect examples of these people all over Asheville. And no, I am not one of them.

#s 3 & 7 are especially prevelant. They seem to mesh well with A/ville's Appalachian backporch hippie vibe.

Swa(y) we miss ya

man, someone's got to keep it "hip."

when yr 17 and own nothing, have accomplished nothing, still rely on yr folks for money, etc., all you got is looking hip!!!!

ha ha!

I see perfect examples of those people both in Baltimore and New York City (Esp. Williamsburg during the summer when all the college kids are interning at magazines and photography studios).

Mike the model thought this shit was so hilarious.

that's really well done, haha!

The Native American cigarette brand is a true hipster trademark.

he wears girl pants.

sounds like someone on here.

I don't get the hipster thing. Everyone cares about how they look - just head on over to the "post a picture of yourself" thread. hipsters.

So do they realize how stupid they look? I don't really understand them at all. The one good thing about Indianapolis is we hardly have any here.

I was hoping this would be more accurate in its evolution and thorough in its survey.

mountain man looks like me, but i'm from the mountains so fuck off article,i'm not a hipster :(

I've kind of got the mountain man thing going too. Jeans, flannel shirt, flask, beard. . . but I wash my hair and don't wear a beanie and trim my beard and just generally don't look like a hobo.

not true. go back about 10 pages or whenever my last photo barf was.

i'm just ahead of the game... the '2011 hipster' will be the anti-cool, wear whatever doesn't look good on you that i have been rocking the shit out of in 09

i saw on the homepage there's going to be a new arcade fire album, what an incredible band, they push the boundaries of uninteresting with every release
