A true hipstr’s monetary support from their trust fund guarantees that they’ll never sleep on the streets. However, using ‘homeless bedding’ will score major irony points with your friends.

Never profess your own status as a hipster. Hipsters refuse the use of labels to punctuate their rejection of social norms. If someone else tries to call you a hipster, remind them of your choice to denounce labels.

*Calling another person a hipster is also unacceptable.

Only obey traffic laws that are expressed using neon colors. The color of street signage indicates which demographic should pay attention to the instruction posted. Neon is nontraditional, alternative, and a fucking pain to look at. Just like a hipstr walking by.

Cover yourself in meaningless tattoos that are put on your body when you are bored/aren’t getting enough attention from the people around you. Make sure that these ironic tattoos are put in places on your body where people are forced to look at them and therefore ask about them.

Depending on your mood and level of dedication to the hipstr lifestyle, it is acceptable to have some completely irrelevant tattoos in addition to tattoos that actually have meaning to you as a human being. Regardless, never let people know that these things mean anything to you. Having a heart is seen as a weakness.

Make people wait. Whether you are meeting up with friends for coffee, going to a super-hipstr electronic music festival, or assisting a friend in need…ALWAYS be late.

This will ensure that you are seen as having a very demanding schedule, and that you are taking time out of your important life to grace your social circle with your presence. Being on time is seen as trying too hard to please people and meet their expectations, and you wouldn’t want to be seen as committed to things like friendship and reliability.

Wear sunglasses all the time; outdoors and ESPECIALLY indoors.

*Cheap, neon-colored, Ray Ban look-alikes are the only non-brand name shades that are acceptable to wear.

Hang out in coffee shops all day, every day. Make sure to have a signature coffee shop (refer to this as “your” coffee shop when referencing it to others) where you can be found at any given day/time. Also make sure to have a signature drink and make it known that you would never drink anything else. This will ensure that hipstr wannabees will choke this beverage down daily to up their coolness factor in your book.

*Photos of each daily coffee shop trip NOT optional.

Diversify your music collection so it becomes an abyss of obscurity.

This isn’t about coming across music you’d actually share with friends.

Owning a thoroughly obscure music library is all about wasting time downloading mediocre remixes and covers. It’s about collecting demos released by an indie-pop-dance-electro-bass duo from Germany called Lampshade. We get it: you’re totally expressing your sense of individualism. Lampshade’s music resonates with you and your life ridden with angst and a desire for something greater than the consumer culture all of your friends are obsessed with.

Although you should waste most of your time using social media to complain about how annoying it is, also be sure to utilize it as a tool to publish completely irrelevant material on it. Inside jokes, random quotes, and cryptic phrases not only make you look cool, it also makes you think that readers are jealous of you.

Nothing says you’re having a great time like taking a break to update Facebook or tweet about it.

When it comes to alcohol consumption, choose vodka.

According to ancient hipster folklore, vodka is the only liquor that cannot be smelled on one’s breath. Drink up!
