DISCLAIMER: For information purposes only. I am not implying that anyone here is a hipster, nor am I casting any judgement on anyone who may be. I cannot and will not deny that we have taken digs at this label a couple of times. (Check out How Hipsters Stole the Geek Mojo and Geeks Versus Hipsters.)
For whatever reason that can be plausible at the slightest, I thought that this infographic would interest you. Titled “The Hipster Owner’s Manual”, it gives a rather detailed account of the accessories that a decent hipster has to have in his or her arsenal.
Here’s a quick rundown:
- Boombox
- Bicycle
- Mustache (I suppose you can pass up on this if you are a woman. Then again, I have seen some women sporting what could be a mustache.)
- Polaroid
- iPhone (The brand is specific, mind you.)
- Badges
- Converse
- Tobacco
- Ski Vest
- Nintendo (Old school!)
- 80s watch
- Shutter shades
For a more “in-depth” explanation of why these accessories are essential items in a hipster’s kit, take a look at the infographic below. Click for a larger view.
So what do you think? Is that an accurate list? How many items can you tick off? Does that mean you’re a hipster? ;)

I wear an “80′s watch” and I own a bicycle (although I’ve had it for three years and I’ve only ridden it twice). Those are the only two items I can tick off.
