I think Futtbuck has a very good point, and it might be worth pointing out that there's nothing on the bingo chart that costs more than $10. Most of these kids are artists of some flavor, and that's not exactly a high paying gig, at least at this level. The look that someone like Ashton Kucher is trying to imitate is that of sleeping on a friend's couch, showering once a week and having someone's junkie girlfriend cut your hair. When that's your life, something like a trucker hat is funny, I don't claim to understand why, it just is.

I think we might have been using the word "hipster" in a differant sense though, I think just about everyone here has a finely tuned bullshit detector, and would never pay the big bucks to buy this stuff at a designer boutique. My next door neighbor is a fashion designer, so, I wear "designer" clothes, but only because I fix her computer. That expensive stuff is reserved for the tourists.
