Hipster Profile of the Week: the hipster-bro
Is Alex (pictured above) a Hipster?
There has been some contention among the WooMe team about what physical and mental attributes really constitute a hipster so we came up with a list of things that define them:
-must like shit, mainly music, that you have never heard of
-must gloat about the fact that they are savvy to shit you’ve never heard of
-must look slightly dirty with a homelessness quality about them.
-great hair with the “i didn’t comb my hair or try at all” look
-probably smoking a cigarette
-looks like, might actually be, a junkie
-looks poor, probably has a trust fund
-new clothes that at first glance look old and dirty
-probably wearing a dirty baseball cap or a fedora
-won’t talk to you unless you were introduced to them by someone who is “cooler” than they are
-wears tight jeans
-everything they do is either slightly or totally ironic
So is Alex a hipster? A little bit!
Alex would be classified as one of our all time favorite
hipster hybrid genres, the hipster-bro, aka the ”
alt bro.” Hipster-bros generally have good attitudes, love, like LOVE, electro music, have great alternative haircuts and wears tight jeans and preppy shirts (we’re talking Pacific Sunwear meets American Apparel type of shit).
Alex is the perfect hipster-bro example. I mean we really couldn’t have stumbled upon a better species of hipster-bro if we drew him ourselves. What more could one ask from in a true hipster-bro than great emo hair (hipster), big muscles (bro), tight genes (hipster), Mossimo knock-off shirt (bro), rad sunglasses (hipster), and Nike shoes (hipster/bro double whammy combo).
And the thumbs up he’s giving to the camera? Well that’s just icing on the hipster-bro cake. We can almost hear his voice in our brain saying ”dude, brah, dude, you listen to that Chromeo mix tape yet? Dope!!”
