Question Posted Saturday November 30 2013, 11:31 pm
People pick on me and call me a "hipster" because I like to wear vintage clothes, headbands, fedora hats and listen to old music & I'm not into the music being played today. My friends are like this too & they don't consider themselves "hipster". I'm really down to earth and make friends easily. I'm very carefree/laid back. I don't like brand names, I love funky jewelry, always have, and I have an obsession with skulls and vintage items. I'm not sure what a hipster is, but I don't think I am one, but I get called a stupid hipster. Do I sound like a hipster?

You are your own person and it sounds like you just have a style you like. You like what you like ..if someone wants to judge you because of that then they're probably not the kind of people you want to hang around anyway. Screw em. there's 6 billion ppl in the world ....a few ppls opinions are not gonna change anything unless you let em. [ MsAdvicenator's advice column | Ask MsAdvicenator A Question ]

Because it bothers you.
Yes, you exhibit some of the core behaviours that are associated with the hipster culture: vintage clothing and rejection of pop music. So it makes perfect sense people would call you a hipster.
There is no real definition of hipster - because it's a movement that tries to reject labels and is really just a self-selected group of people who identify with one-another.
But really, people are doing it because it bothers you. Lots of people are proud, or at least at peace, with being called hipsters. The word is only an insult if you allow it to be.
