his. No option for eating out in an actual restaurant, not having an iPod, or using a computer not made by Apple out of choice.

Suppose being annoyed by this means we're definitely not hipsters, then.
I own zero apple products and don't use their services (iCloud/iTunes)either

That was my line of thinking and given I am also a drag racer that rules out me being a boring fart too biggrin

The descriptions at the end don't seem to cater for anyone whose personality isn't defined by which latest trends they're sucked into, or indeed whether people do things because that's what they like rather than "it's the in thing". I'm pretty safe in the knowledge that I'm less boring than the guy who wrote the quiz, too wink

15, but only because I still added a point for the crap questions without a suitable answer.

I voted "Can't be arsed etc".

I'm too old to be a hipster and there wasn't a valid answer for me to most of the questions.

I feel so sad for this generation. What a st time to be young. My late teens and 20s were pills, lasers, decks and mayhem. These tragic fks are unicycling between coffee shops.

Same here - quiz would better with some zero point options eg bag? What's up with pockets?

As there aren't enough options on the quiz I am just guessing I would score in the negative band. Hipster? isn't that modern slang for tw@

Just made me feel so much better about my impending birthday and the thought of becoming old. Although I do love going to coffee shops, might have something to do with the caffeine needs and hot staff more than anything else though. I drive there though because my belly doesn't suit lycra.

ETA: 12 points for me despite not being able to answer many questions I was let down by owning a Mac and a rucksack!

Exactly the same for me.

Mind you, if it was "Are you a bit of a Redneck", I could score a lot higher silly
