Am I a Hipster?

A few days ago I was joking with friends about hipster products. For about five minutes I got to be a hipster, as curiosity of my phone. As it turns out that dumb phones are the iPhone for hipsters. It used to be that iPhone was the cell phone for hipsters, but now it's what to popular, too commercial for that. In, what might be called life creating irony, Blackberry might be the cell phone for hipsters soon.

For those of you that don't get the joke, let me do, what you should never do with a joke, and explain it. A hipster, as I understand, wants to do what is not popular and if it happens what ever they are doing becomes popular, they feel compelled to leave. In this way, they hop to new gadgets, but will only stick if a minority of people are also using said gadget. Sometimes, they will hop to anachronistic gadget, especially if it was once popular, but only when a minority of people are left. This leads to them to open coffee houses where snapping is the only way you can show appreciation or decide to eat everything, including M&Ms, with chopsticks.

There is something about the ridiculousness of this drive to be different it makes for easy prey when it comes to humor, but for me it comes with some introspection as well. When I was declared a hipster for having a dumb phone, part of me laughed with my friends, but the other half was proud. Not ashamed because I was a sucker, but proud because all of them were suckers. I have no legitimate reason to feel this way, but my inner hipster is alive and well.

Just recently I was introduced to Warhammer 40,000 which a gritty Sci-fi miniatures table top game. Some of you might be thinking, that's hipster enough, I've never heard of that you description has me uninterested, at least as u interested as going to a interpretive dance competition. Well, thank you, but not yet. In a hobby shop, or with this group of friends, just playing this game is not hipster enough for me. So, I choose Orks as an army, and started my research. Yes, I was researching models and army lists and paint techniques, but more importantly, I thought, I needed to now what clan these Orks would be from.

The questions I typed into google: "What is the least popular Ork clan to play?"

I could have just as easily typed what clan of Orks would a hipster play. As a result, I'm playing Snakebites/Goff, for two differently, albeit hipsterish, reasons.
