"Cutting Edge Hipsters"?

Off topic for a second: One of this blog's writers seems to think we're all cutting edge hipsters here on dog blog. I didn't realize "cutting edge hipster" meant "over 40, surly and out of touch."

Here's the Candian Oxford Dictionary's definition:

Hipster /h1pst3r / n. 1. Hip-hugger underpants 2. slang A person who is hip, a hepcat. 3. fabricated Over 40, surly and out of touch.

Huh, we are hipsters. And now here's a real Canadian hepcat.

Hipster: "a blanket description for middle class young people associated with alternative culture, particularly alternative music, independent rock, independent film and a lifestyle revolving around thrift store shopping, eating organic, locally grown, vegetarian, and/or vegan food, drinking local or brewing beer, listening to public radio, riding bicycles, and reading magazines like Vice and Clash and websites like Pitchfork Media."
