Basically the type of person you are guaranteed to hit, if throwing stones in Brighton, Greenpoint/Williamsberg NYC, Wicker Park Chicago.
Alternatively take your lucky stone to Shimokitazawa and start luzzing.
And Neukolln.

My instant thought goes to Tim buying a table from Williamsberg Ikea.Working my way through all the old TGCTEs now, following your recommendation. I think I've reached the tail end of 2009. So, so funny.
I think one of the most important elements of a Hipster is that they listen to bands with swear words in their names who you haven't heard of.
If nobody is going to appreciate my comedy stylings from post #18, I'm going to be a pedant:-And if you're a working hipster (ie work in the new digital industries) you will ride to work on a fixed wheel bike (or a "fixy")
Ironic moustaches but this season with beards. Old trucker hats or trilbies. 3/4 length drainpipe chinos, boating shoes.
Neck and hand tattoos optional. Old style camcorders. Always with rollies, never a pack of Marlboro Light or whatever. Shoreditch, Hoxton, maybe even Homerton or Hackney Wick. Always coffee, never tea. Those stupid massive things that stretch their earlobes.

Okay - never normal tea.
10 second search.This worries me. I've not been for a couple of years but shimokitazawa is/used to be my favourite part of tokyo. Home to the best okonomiyaki in the city, my favourite bar and loads of live houses playing music that wasn't shite j-pop. It is/was a very open and friendly place too. Something that can't always be said for the other towns in tokyo.
Have you been there or are you basing it on what you've read?

I'm beginning to think Mr GNLF is after a Hipster guide book not a Hipster slagging off!!
i reckon you could have 'normal' tea but only ever ironically and ALWAYS out of a teapot

Ah but that's not ironic in Japan, what with the Keirin scene being big business over there.Although there are a lot of people riding those one geared bikes in the quoted places.
They'll have one of those achingly cool style magazines such as Wallpaper with a circulation of a few thousand and can only be bought in that newsagents in Wardour Street.
Oh look there's a photoshoot in it with Lily Cole showing her minge. It's okay though, she looks unhappy. It must be art.
Never tea? I'm almost certain herbal tea is one of several 'hipster tipples'.
