Jul 24, Jill rated it really liked it Shelves: humor , society. I, like totally bought this book, because it was so not hip for hipsters to admit to even knowing about this, and like, I had to stay one step ahead of the game by embracing the unhip and making it ironic.
If that's not deck, what is? Seriously, really amusing and dead-on with the stereotypes! Although I think the author may have used the 'essential reads' chapter to plug his friends' books Now this begs the question as what what the new cool will look like. Sep 10, Nathan rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: Posturers. Shelves: humor , reference. Perhaps I just know one too many of these people, but I found this book to be both hilarious and invaluable.
I also found the descriptions of the various types of hipsters alarmingly on-target. Not only do I know one of each of them, I even know some that have been all of them at various stages. Truly, this book has helped me pigeonhole a lot of people I'd have otherwise wasted valuable waking thoughts on.
Dec 14, Sarah Sammis rated it really liked it Shelves: read-in So here I am dressed as fin as imaginable in my tie-die shirt and the test at the end of the book tells me I'm deck. The test came out more accurately for my husband pointing him out for for the poseur that he is. The illustrations are best part of the book and the most boring bits have to be the lengthy explanations of the various types of hipsters.
By about the third one I just started skipping through these sections. Nov 13, Kathryn rated it it was amazing. There was a time when this was the funniest book in existence..
The illustrations make it happen. The sequel about all "other" types of people in the world non-hipster has a few shining moments, but overall is a let down. Terribly funny I love handbooks for cool. They are totally cool. Don't read this book if you can't laugh at yourself because you will inevitably fall into one of the listed categories if you think of yourself at all outside the norm and were born after Jan 14, Chris "Stu" rated it it was ok Shelves: Don't buy it.
It's no different from what you can find on a thousand other blogs. There are some moments of recognition in it for anyone remotely interested in, well, culture, or anyone who has friends between the ages of , but it's not particularly smart or funny or worth your time to seek out. Jan 22, Patrick rated it really liked it Shelves: Funny, spot-on send-up of the young, urban, and cooler-than-thou. Fashion styles, music musts, ironic paraphernalia and other essential folkways are explored in this manual.
There are pictures, too, but the only problem is that by mocking hipsters, you essentially become a hipster yourself. It's a paradox. Think about it. Apr 06, Spencer rated it really liked it. May 13, Callina rated it really liked it. I thought it was also very apropos that I bought this at Powell's in Portland, which I think is some kind of Mecca for hipsters. May 19, Katie rated it liked it Recommends it for: jaded former urban outfitters employees.
Shelves: sitting-on-bookshelf-proudly-read. While on some level it was kind of accurate I could definitely think of people that resemble some of its categories , it should by no means be taken as a literal handbook..

Jul 26, Liz Diamond rated it liked it. Comprehensive and thorough. Very informative. Also existential. Hipsters love to make fun of other hipsters, without realizing that they themselves are also hipsters. Am I a hipster? What makes hipster truely a hipster? What is the essense of "hipster"? No one can ever really answer thse burning questions. But thank god someone tried. Nov 18, Mike rated it really liked it Recommends it for: people who don't take shit seriously.
Tim recommended it to me. The book has only gotten funnier since I moved to Seattle. And I would feel the same way even if it didn't mention my alma mater on page Though I would say there are enough jokes I don't get that I can't give it the full five stars.
Mar 30, Jeffrey rated it it was amazing Shelves: philosophy-and-social-theory. Parents-- do you think your child might be a hipster?
Read this book before it's too late to stop them from wandering down that dark, denim-and-vinyl road to Hell. In all seriousness, this is fairly brilliant pop anthropology. Jun 08, Hilary "Fox" rated it it was ok Shelves: humor , non-fiction , , sociology. Thanks to this book, I now can pigeonhole most people I know into various stereotypes. The joy! All the same, this book was entertaining. It had silly illustrations and was written in humorous way.
