Minnesota named 'Most Hipster State in the U.S.'

• everytime I see a hipster  look at a hipster and say "ew look at that hipster" I think "gross look at that hipster looking at that hipster" does that make me a hipster? ahahahhaha

• Ha, are you serious?! By determining that MN has the most online searches for 'hipsters', does not in fact mean that they are the most hipster state.  Actually, it points to the opposite, which would be they are the most 'wannabe' hipster state.  Correct me if I am wrong, but by googling the word 'hipster' is 100% contradicting what the hipster movement represents.

• Only a hipster would deny such things as being hipster.

• I love that people are fighting over who is the most popular hipster... I thought being a hipster was a bad thing. HAHAHA

• "Thrifty Hipster", an online guide to the Twin Cities, completely skewers these results.

• this is hilarious. i live in saint paul and i would never expect this.

• Agreed...haha! These fucknuggets are just jealous that they aren't the biggest hipster state...don't deny it! But I do apologize for being a rude mofo cuz y'all got your own opinions...lawlzz but anyway I don't even know if I'm a hipster, I agree with this guy..not into labels AT ALL. But I do gotta say that lumberjacks are pretty sexy..Mmmmm Paul Bunyon..yummy (;

• I'm a FUCKING MINNESOTAN!!! :D

• My best friend pretty much described hipster's as dirty haired dudes who wear clothes from the 90's. I think of hipsters as a somewhat grunge version of Indie Kids. I totally agree that hipster's as well as indie kids like good music, art and are eco friendly; someone that tries to find obscure bands recycles once a month and tries hard not to try hard is someone that is trying to live up to what they heard a hipster kid is and that in-turn make them very un-hipster...if you know what I mean. And You can't really describe most groups by how they are said to act only by style, and common interests like Prep or Scene or Emo, because I know emo kids that are not depressed and I know prep that were or are depressed so.....yea.

• Ok I think this was a pretty funny post, but I am so over hearing people say "gay this, gay that"

• People here have to google "hipster" to make sure they're getting it right. Every. Day. 

• To celebrate, you should all go out and punch a hipster in his ironic goddamned face.

• Nordeast isn't trendy, it's gentrified despite what anyone tells you.

• we're also minnesota modest. can we please not advertise our awesomeness to the world? i like it the way it is..

• Just because they Play/show/perform/display. . . Does not make that Band/art any good.  They must perform well and be talented.      It does not matter that you know them... or they play the same show everytime.   

• Im gonna puke,   I love this town,  but Im soo sick of the hipster look/attitude.  Your music is based on older music,  most of what you like sucks,  pull your pants up.  And If I am at the CC dont be a jerk.    GO SEE Live Music! 

•  I've always separated minnesota hipsters from other state's hipsters. Most of the "hipster" cats I know from minnesota have been riding fixie since the day they were born, down to earth, and aren't trying to impress anyone. 90% of hipsters however.....

• um no... not really. Minnesotans just live. We're too nice for labels 

• another reason to never visit

• hipsters are gay as fuck. Im nathan pinder, come at me hoes

• You, sir, are most likely a hipster.

• it's just a great city to live in with a great art and music scene and the most bicycle enthusiats in the u.s. I also think that there's a large population of folks who believe downsizing their lives is a good idea. simple enough....right?

• Super-uber triple bullshit on a Ritz cracker. I've been to West Des Moines, and it makes Williamsburg look like waking up in a Motel 6 in Brainerd with a bad hangover.

• Oh, I know exactly what you mean. Precisely.

• Really? Bisexual? Imitating lumberjacks, you say? Hmmmm ... gotta see what I can get for a cheap flight in the morning.

• HIPSTERS, FLIPSTERS and Finger *snap* popin *snap* Daaadayyes! knock me your lobes!

• They're

• Hipster= Ugly people shoving it in my face that their different. I get it, gimme my coffee and buy some deodorant.

• That's nottyensame logic.. With the example you're using, and their logic, the correct statement would be 13 year olds look at boobs the most. Besides the article gives other evidence. :) Nice try though..

• Question: How many hipsters does it take to screw in a light bulb? Answer: Its some obscure number that you probably never of before.

• You grown baby man. You big milk fed mcdonalds loving fat fat. You self hating porn addict. Its just a word. Please kill kill kill yourself. Please? please.

• haha, wow. Why does everybody care so much? Live your own life and stop gawking at others. After all we all the same fate anyway.

• i'd say hipsters drink until they throw up sometimes too.

• If you need to Google the word "hipster" for a definition I'd say you weren't one

• "and inconsequential private colleges sucking the life out of Saint Paul" OMG, totally. We'd be so much better off *without* all of the successful business that have been started by St. Thomas/St. Kate's/Mac alums. Wait, no. Attracting and keeping educated people in your city is a good thing. Got your angry pants on so tight you can't think straight.

• The Most Hipster State In The US: While popular media has portrayed Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood as the home of the hipster, New York is only #2 in terms of overall "hipster" search volume. Who's #1?.. ... All Williamsburg and Greenpoint hispters are from North Bumblefuck, MN or Bellybutton, Iowa. NATIVE New Yorkers don't listen to Animal Collective or go to Co-op food markets, they beat people who ride their bikes with padlocks and drink until they throw up. ...

• Now we're googling "hipster" in our endless quest to matter? Eventually the other 49 states will like us. We need to just need to keep trying to tell them how great and unique we are.

• t

• Is there an age limit to be a hipster...kinda like Logan's Run?

• Thank you. I attend the University of Minnesota and, personally, I can say that hipsters are beginning to take over this campus and they are trying to make the university a little bit too "hip" itself.

• Or because we see a bunch of bisexual people dressed in tight jeans regardless of gender and clothes that make them look like they are trying to unsuccesfully trying to imitate a real lumberjack

• yeah no shit he/she never said that. hipster.

• Haters need to open their minds.

• it must me be all the vampires that live here... including Josh Hartnett

• Williamsburg is not a state

• From our bumbling 'professional' sports teams to the self important, insular, and inconsequential private colleges sucking the life out of Saint Paul, putting up with what has to be the least talented collection of writers and least influential of the VVM media properties, having a twenties-something crowd that is more concerned (male and female) with their shade of eyeliner and toenail paint than effecting lasting real-world change, and our ineffective and just plain stupid political leaders from both sides of the aisles, I can easily see why Minnesota is gaining a reputation for being the worse possible sub-universe of hipster culture instead of being on the upside of what could be right about the potential energy.

• city pages yet again bringing minneapolis quality regurgitated pseudo-news...

• hipster.

• you good sir are a genius

• *palm to face*

• Being a hipster means you're a pretentious loser that spends lots of time, money, and effort trying to look effortless. It means finding obscure, bad bands and then claiming you know everything about them and that somehow that makes you better than people who are smarter, better fit, and harder working than you. It means claiming you live eco-friendly when you have one recycling bin that you fill up once a month. Hipsters are massive losers, but they never really figure that out because they're so up their own asses.

• "having good taste in music/art" No, being a hipster means only liking things that suck and saying it's "ironic", and trying really hard not to try hard at anything. On second thought, never mind. I'm totally over that definition.

• Q: How many hipsters does it take to screw in a light bulb? A: Its a pretty obscure number, you've probably never heard of it!

• I don't know why they would need defending they were a band not serial killer.

• As A-Train references, Minnesotans use the website "Thrifty Hipster" for happy hour deals. Ed's point about 13 year olds with big boobs is valid. Buzzfeed...not so valid.

• Minneapolis: googling "thrifty hipster" so you don't have to.

• Not only is this now the gayest city but it's full of "hipsters". Whatever that may mean. I guess those are semi-gay twink boys.

• As a true hipster, this is the only type of news that can draw me to City Pages. I usually get all my information from back issues of Pulse.

• You sir, win an internet.

• Good! As a New Yorker, I totally agree. Can you please take all of our hipsters, so we can use the real estate for those without trust funds? Danke.

• nope - still the weird kid.

• sigh. this is simply disgusting.. I just can't believe it.. I mean, sure, we have festivals like May Day but IFC made a show called "portlandia" directly targeted to make fun of the hipster.. this is just not right. o.o

• Let's just embrace this. The negative connotation associated with the term "hipster" refers to a trend in fashion, but in reality all it means is having good taste in music/art and living eco-friendly. It's just a modern day twist on the term "dirty hippie"

• This must be because most Minnesotans think a hipster is any 20something out at night.

• How often people search for the word "hipster" means nothing. By that logic, 13-year old boys have the world's biggest boobs.

• Finally, I am not the weird kid.

• Exhibits D-H forgot the Replacements. First to defend them is undoubtedly a hipster.

• Bullshit. I've been to Williamsburg, and it makes Nordeast look like suburban Des Moines.

• GOD FUCK. DAMN IT!
