hipster trap

Looking for an abundance of bike lanes, farmers' markets and bearded dudes? Then head to Minnesota, the most hipster-iffic state in the U.S., according to Buzzfeed's super-official map of American hipsterdom. The results are actually based on search engine statistics for the word "hipster," which means that while Minnesotans are readily researching the loaded term, they're probably also most likely to deny being one. It also explains how they beat out New York — it's assumed Brooklynites already know the meaning of the word, or you know, can't be bothered to read about a far-too-frequently analyzed subculture. 

In other words, take these findings with a shaker of salt. After all, Minnesota is also home to the country's largest shopping mall, not the largest second-hand, vintage clothing store. And as for the all the guys with bushy sideburns, plaid shirts and cans of PBR — I'm pretty sure they're just actual lumberjacks.

A real hipster wouldn't get caught in that trap, because he'd be too busy trying to snag the chain to lock up his fixie

It would be the land of Husker Du and the Replacements.

This guy knows, but on the same level it's also home to Prince.

Can't we all just start calling them "slacker-douchebags"?

The gang in Mpls wishes they were hipsters. That's why they have to research it.
