" Hipster" is all the rage. From the word, to the style, to the music, it seems everyone wants to be a hipster. But some people seem to be, well, better at it. Have you ever met a professional hipster? There's usually a few things that characterize a real-life, true hipster.

1. A fantastic flannel--or three. Move over lumberjacks, you guys no longer own the fashion rights to flannels, the hipsters bought you out. Every good hipster owns at least one good red flannel, but if he or she is an over the top hipster, they will usually own a blue or green one also. Dark blue or green of course, too light a flannel makes for a child's flannel.

2. Shops exclusively at Forever 21 and/or H&M. Forever 21 is the king store of the hipsters--if your closet isn't 75% full of Forever 21 clothes or at least half full of them, are you REALLY a hipster? Now if you've never heard of H&M, you live in the South--and not in Texas.

3. Doesn't like to be called a hipster. Hipster has become too mainstream, it's insulting to call a true hipster a hipster. When a more obscure, less-used word comes out, call them that.

4. Owns at least five pairs of either Vans, Toms, or a very obscure shoe brand from Korea. Do I even have to explain this one? I thought this was a universally known thing about the hipster kind.

And most important thing of them all:

5. Coffee. Ah yes, coffee. A true hipster knows his or her coffee order better than they know the lyrics to their favorite obscure folk indie band's songs. Coffee is the ultimate staple, the most basic necessity to be a true hipster. Just no Starbucks--too mainstream. Try something more hole-in-the-wall, such coffee shops are usually watering holes for the hipster kind.
