"Adam Steltzner, NASA's hipster rocket engineer"

http://www.eetimes.com/ContentEETimes/Images/steltzner_406.JPG

Steltzner comes across as a bit of a hipster (two pierced ears), media savvy and relentlessly honest about the risks of the mission to land the nearly 1-ton rover Curiosity in a predetermined spot on Mars, Gale Crater. The low-lying site is believed to be among the best places to find evidence that Mars once harbored the ingredients for life.

Steltzner also represents a new breed of engineer. The Bay Area native is a rocker, as the Elvis haircut attests ... Putting his doctorate to good use, Steltzner said he needed “a little bit of sexy.”

aging rockabilly dudes are hipsters now

hipster is an umbrella term at this point that encompasses almost any group of fashion-conscious music fans.

hipster is a 50s word though right?

yea but iirc those hipsters were more like proto-beatniks right

DO WE HAVE TO GO OVER THIS AGAIN?

I've often wondered about hipster racism, mostly because they only seem to hang around black people if they have retro '70s 'fros.

but... as bad as hipster culture is, one positive thing i can say is that it seems to be more racially diverse than a lot of other music/fashion movements of the last 20 years. tho i could be imagining that

I realized that the big hipster argument I got myself into upthread as over a misunderstanding of the definition of a hipster. To me a hipster is merely a poseur in an indie/artsy setting rather than the classic goth/punk setting.

Do you surround yourself with things you really like or things you like only because they are absurd?
Do I communicate primarily through inside jokes and pop culture references?
What percentage of my speech is meaningful?
How much hyperbolic language do I use?
Do I feign indifference?
What parts of your wardrobe could be described as costume-like, derivative or reminiscent of style archetype?
Do you attempt to look intentionally nerdy, awkward or ugly?
Is your style an anti-style?
How would it feel to change yourself quietly, offline, without public display, from within?

do i write linkbait opinion pieces?

I came of age in the 1990s, a decade that, bracketed neatly by two architectural crumblings — of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the Twin Towers in 2001 — now seems relatively irony-free.

the decade that spawned bands like Jon Cougar Concentration Camp and Man or Astro-Man seems "relatively irony-free" to someone

in this age of bronies and juggalos, i'd feel way more comfortable if nate silver could tell us 30-40% of votes for romney were ironic.

Before her hair turned to glass in the waves off the California coast, Christy Wampole (vocals) came from a Texas town whose road sign reads: “Where the West begins.” This explains the groaning desolation one occasionally hears in her voice, which still sounds the notes of that yearning for water which afflicts parched and empty lands. She moved from Texas to France - its smaller sister Republic - where she cultivated an interest in cabaret and chanson, and later performed music from both traditions in restaurants and nightclubs in Dallas and the Bay Area. She is completing her Ph.D at Stanford University with a dissertation on late 20th-century French and Italian essayistic fiction.

well, it is. but i know people like this! and they're basically okay people! they own dogs and are mostly kind to their friends.

from the comments:

The fact that fundamentalists are never ironic is to me the highest recommendation for irony that I can imagine.
