Important note: absolutely no one actually thinks they are a hipster, and the more of a hipster they are, the more they hate hipsters and don’t be associated with hipsters.

The yellow one was the waterproof “sports” model. I think I may still have one stored away some where.

By the time the Norman Mailer essay came out in the middle 1950’s, the species “hipster” already seemed on the way to extinction. For white kids jazz would soon be replaced by rock-and-roll and the hipster would morph into the hippie. It’s been weird to see the word make its rather zombie-like reappearance.

And what is this yellow Sony tape man of which Drolfe speaks?

Why did the hipster burn his lips? He drunk his coffee before it was cool.
