I did it in my head, but decided to make my proof a bit more hipster by using a black and white filter.

I used a pencil on my Breaking Bad notepad.



I noticed the comment "You’re a bit stuck in the 90s, frankly". Describes me perfectly as I cruised to work this morning singing along to Nirvana.

I couldn't even give an answer for some. For example-

3 Where was the last place you ate out?
Pizza Express or Café Rouge. You know the menu backwards. SCORE 1 POINT
An awesome pop-up or buzzing street-food festival. Instagrammed the food, obv. SCORE 4 POINTS
A gastropub. Meat coma! 2 POINTS
A gourmet dirty burger joint. Nom! SCORE 3 POINTS

There was no option for a greasy cafe for a massive fry-up

Same here, no option for a crappy burger and bottle of water an an airport biggrin

Scored 7 based on the questions I could answer

To paraphrase Zaphod, clearly I'm so unhip it's amazing my legs don't fall off.

16, took a massive hit on the beer question, problem is I was drinking ale before it became trendy (7/8 years ago) and I'm only 31 and a CAMRA member.

But to be fair CAMRA had a higher proportion of beards than the average population before the rise of Hipsters biggrin

I think they have moved away from real ale to craft lager more recently, though I do enjoy a cold lager when it’s hot and don’t want the usual chemical rubbish. The only plus side is the reappearance of glass tankards recently.

22, however I also wear stretch skinny jeans and have square thick rimmed glasses; proper prescription ones though.

15 and that only because I use a Macbook. Did it for amusement, as at 66 I am about as far from hipster as I am from Beau Brummell.
