The sliding scale of hipsterdom

Like many things in life, there is no black and white to being a hipster. There are degrees of hipstertude. On a highly scientific scale, the choices range from “slightly hip” to “Williamsburg personified” to “Holy shit, you were on the first page of latfh.com a week ago.” Here at Hipster Jew, we’ve got a very exacting and accurate survey to go along with our mega-scientific scale.
