I didn’t know “Kansasian” was a word. You learn something new every day.

I’m kind of a genius like that.

iTunes upgrading has decided to not work.

The beauty of having a Mac.

Apple makes money off people who are “hip” and “cool” and who like shiny, pretty things.

Like Snoopyiscool.

Oh snap.

I feel like I’m going to get some homework done today. Of course, up until now, all I’ve done is eat bacon and watch sportscenter, but it seems like I’ll have a productive few hours, at the least.

snoopyiscool · February 16, 2009, 1:45pm

I’m hip? Excuse me, “hip”?

JBVirtuoso · February 16, 2009, 1:58pm

I fear I might be one of these scene hipster characters. What are the criteria?

I wrote more of my novel in the twenty minutes while I cooked lunch than I wrote in four hours yesterday. Lawlz.

Mike41691 · February 16, 2009, 2:03pm

You’re most certainly not a hipster JB.

Pasta salad then differential equations. At least I have a plan now.

rockermcr · February 16, 2009, 2:06pm

Very hip.

Also, if I were Indian, my name would be either Rohinton or Mohinder.

Seriously.

snoopyiscool · February 16, 2009, 2:09pm

I’m hipper than everybody here, jb, and I’m only “hip.”

If I was Indian my name would be Kelly. Oh, wait, never mind. That’s jolie.

Also, if it makes you feel any better about yourself, upgrading my iTunes is downloading everything I ever bought, including the stuff I deleted already. So. Kind of a lot of Fall Out Boy. Jesus Christ.

rockermcr · February 16, 2009, 2:41pm

You… You buy music?

Your hipster status just went down the drain.

JBVirtuoso · February 16, 2009, 2:44pm

No one answered my question. What are the criteria?

snoopyiscool · February 16, 2009, 3:19pm

Didn’t you hear, yak? Limewire was detected.

Do you have swoopy hair?

JBVirtuoso · February 16, 2009, 3:49pm

Both Case and UChicago have policies against file-sharing programs. I know for sure that Case students developed their own, and the university allows that one. But the students told me that if I use Limewire anywhere on campus, they’ll trace it to my computer and turn it over to the authorities. I don’t really know how the rest of the colleges do it.

I do not have swoopy hair. But I do wear hoodies with Nike sneakers, and I’m cynical.

snoopyiscool · February 16, 2009, 4:11pm

Then you can’t possibly be hip. I wear hoodies with Nikes and am cynical.

rockermcr · February 16, 2009, 5:28pm

My hair is sort of swoopy.

Now you know.

Dawnie_Min · February 16, 2009, 5:33pm

LOL. you guys have spent years on this thread already that’s some commitment.

Mike41691 · February 16, 2009, 5:38pm

That’s a pretty comprehensive definition.

It should be noted that quite a few hipsters write poetry, but always in free verse, because they’re too postmodern for such banal concepts as rhyme and meter. That’s almost a direct quote, btw.

rockermcr · February 16, 2009, 5:40pm

That’s true. But they are not to be confused with emos or scenesters, because they hate both, and attend more parties than either.

Dawnie_Min · February 16, 2009, 5:53pm

did you know that 1 in 3 people try hard drugs in their lifetime?
