I was gonna be all, “Who would want a warm beer?” But c’mon, hipster parties always feature a big warm box of Pabsts sitting on a counter getting warmer and warmer with every passing second. Maybe somebody needs to invent a party-ice cinch to go with that six-pack cinch everybody loves so much.
I like the glasses though. I need that color.
P.S. This looks pretty dangerous, right?

This trap wouldn’t work because hipsters are too skinny. They would just pull their rail thin wrists through the clamp like Mr. Fantastic from the Fantastic Four. Also, PBR went out of style about 7 years ago.
Yeah this trap is sooooo 2005 . Only low end Alts wear wayfarer knockoffs.
As for pbr pffft no way! Hipsters only drink energy and alcohol . Maybe
If it were a pint of svedka and a large redbull it might work but I doubt it.
Hipsters are too good to drink or smoke something off the street now if it were
A kit you could buy at a co op in a tote bag yah but nah try again bro.
this is a flava flav trap
On the hipster note, since when has “hipster” been an “Ambiance” category on Yelp? See Gracias Madre on Yelp for example. Not sure how I feel about this.
tinachristina,
you’re probably not going to believe this, but i’m the programmer who implemented that feature on yelp. so i can tell you that it’s been a category since february 24, 2011.

Yipes. Yeah, I don’t believe you, JR. Just kidding?
running out of features to implement, huh?
yay! way to implement that feature! i think it’s totes valid.
before everybody got lost
A. hipster=weird person musician artist poet etc
B . pink sunglasses+ neon bike chain + pbr +etc etc=urban outfitters clone…
the disappearence of the middle class continues to make Americans into bitchy clods but i’m a hipster and that’s why i live in the city, to make art and have fun, eat it
or move to Antioch or some shit where boring white people all get along
earthquakes tsunamis what happened with the volcano nuclear disaster.
this is the first laugh i’ve had for days.
I disagree, Pp. I think that:
A. bohemian= weird person musician artist poet etc.
B. hipster= rather normal young person from an affluent family trying to fool people into believing that she or he is a bohemian.
Yelp probably chose to implement that feature because every goddamn review I read on there is from some asshole writing something to the effect of, “Well, overall it was good, but there were too many judgmental hipster-types there for my taste, so me and my square significant other felt really uncomfortable: 2 stars.” It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out whether you’re going to an establishment where “hipsters” can be found. Cheap beer/drinks? Check. Indie and/or ironic retro soundtrack? Check. Vegan food or artisan coffee? Check. Located in or around the Mission/Lower Haight/etc.? I think you’re catching on… Why does it work that way? Because MOST of us are young, relatively broke, fans of music and art that want to live in a place where the people and things we love can be found with relative ease. Just shut the fuck up and stop worrying about what other people are doing and try to enjoy your own life.

Your Hipster Rating:
90-100 Total Hipster: You’d better go grab some vegetarian sushi and a few cases of cheap beer because guests are about to start arriving at your house show/indie label showcase with significant industry reps arriving at any minute. Hurry!
80-90: Cool Person: You have good instincts, but you’re not paying attention! You need to go to more shows and hang out with more musicians to achieve better style.
70-80: Nerd or Yuppie: If you really want to be a hipster, quit your job and start a rock band or go to art school. It might mean a pay cut, but you will look and act cooler.
60-70: Working Adult Professional: You have no instincts for sub-culture. You are boring, but you run the world. Good for you!
60 or below: Normal: Why are you reading this?
You see, it seems like a funny joke now, but then your heart sinks once you actually see the hipster whimpering in the trap, and you don’t have the guts to put it out of its misery so you just leave it there and try to convince yourself it never happened. You suffer from guilt every day for 20 years until you finally spill your guts to a therapist who promptly informs the police, and now you’re on the run from johnny law.
