How To Be A Hipster In this humorous take on hipster culture, the YouTube video titled "How To Be A Hipster," introduces viewers to the essential elements for embracing the hipster lifestyle. The character Noah provides a tongue-in-cheek guide that’s meant to poke fun at various stereotypes associated with being a hipster. Key Points from the Video:

1. Establishing Indie Cred: Noah emphasizes the importance of knowing influential indie artists like The Shins and The Velvet Underground. This indie "cred" is crucial for fitting in with the hipster community.
2. Fashion Choices: A distinctive style is crucial; Noah suggests shopping exclusively at Urban Outfitters and Hot Topic. Accessories such as quirky glasses and bandanas are also recommended to enhance the hipster look.
3. Adopting a Vegan/Vegetarian Lifestyle: Transitioning from meat to more alternative food choices is highlighted, with humorous suggestions for trying tofu-based meals.
4. Coffee Knowledge: Understanding different types of coffee is essential; Noah suggests that this knowledge can help when trying to impress a potential hipster love interest.
5. Location Matters: Noah points out that hipsters thrive in urban settings like New York or Los Angeles, while suburban living might not align with the hipster image.
6. Musical Skills: Learning to play an unconventional instrument, such as the triangle, can further enhance an individual's hipster status, as Noah humorously critiques traditional choices like the guitar.
7. Support Local Record Stores: A unique faux pas is highlighted: not owning vinyl records. Supporting local record stores is both a lifestyle choice and a way to connect with other hipsters. The video is packed with comedic timing and relatable stereotypes that many viewers may recognize either from their lives or from the media portrayal of hipster culture. The lighthearted nature makes it an entertaining watch while simultaneously critiquing the notion of conforming to any specific lifestyle or identity.
