Hahaha, this! I go to Starbucks because I DON'T like coffee that much, only when it's flavored and pansyish. I feel your pain, though--hipster coffee shops can be a painful experience if you're not one yourself. But hey...gotta be better than Christian coffee shops, right? |

4. Here in Britain, coffee shops are not 99% hipsters, fortunately.

You should listen to [namedrop obscure band, preferably from obscure location]. They're avant-garde post-psychedelic-trip-pop with Eastern folk influences, and they perfectly encapsulate the dichotomy of existentialist thought in their minimalistic, haunting work. They also stand up to fur trading and are 100% vegan." |
Wolfhorde
03.28.13 | "typically the weaker the coffee the more caffeine (THAT'S WHY BREAKFEST COFFEE IS SO WEAK...or why tim horton's fucks me up)"
Idk, over here the stronger coffee the more the caffeine mostly. I'll need at least 2-4 cups in the morning of the 'weak' stuff my mum's got, the stuff I go with I can roll with half of that. |
Yuli
03.28.13 | ReturnToRock is spot-on. I don't think 100% "hipsters" really exist as a whole, but there are definitely people that adhere to that trend in quite a few ways. I mean, I do in some ways, like fashion and music (I guess, although it feels reaching to say that because I like indie music...), Others spend so much time fighting the 'hipster' stereotype, which will probably form another stereotype down the road, etc etc. |

Once at a Starbucks this Asian girl sat at my table, when there were scads of empty tables around. Since I was working on something and really don't go for Asian women (no racism, I just don't find them sexy) I pretty much ignored her. I wonder why she did that, was she expecting me to pick her up or something? Anyway she just sat there painting her nails and I sat there writing, and after a while she left - without finishing her tea.
