If you're still going to mustache parties or hosting them, you're probably not a hipster. That was pretty much over in 2005. The same goes for only-undies parties and The Postal Service. If you drink PBR, you're probably not a hipster, either; you're actually probably in high school. (Hipsters moved on to local microbrews by 2008.) Anchorage was recently declared as one of America's best cities for hipsters by Travel + Leisure, so if you're wondering how a normal-average so-and-so can make it into hipsterdom in 2012 up here, I can tell you that ordering clothing from Urban Outfitters alone does not a hipster make. It's a lifestyle, a state of being. It's about clinging to the edges, or at least hanging out near them.
