Bear&lt;/a&gt; had this "Hipster Test" the other day. It seemed to be pretty popular, but what is up with some of these questions? They don't even make sense.  See for yourself:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; What was the last album &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style="font-style: italic;"&gt;you thought was perfect&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;1. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Hot Fuss&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;2. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;3. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Funeral&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;4. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Kid A&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;5. You haven't heard it, but it's by this band called "Jesus Was Me" and it's called &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Millard Filmore Slept with My Daughter&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;, but it's hard to find and all the guys in the band died in a cult sacrifice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;First of all, what the hell is Hot Fuss doing on this list? You guys can read the About SMB section if you want to find my feelings on this pseudo-band's endless line of rip-offs and shitty music.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, back to my original point, why isn't there an option called "none of the above"? Anyone with two ears and decent taste can tell you that Britney Spears's &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;...Baby One More Time&lt;/span&gt; is as close to perfect as it has gotten in the past two decades. It's called Teeny Bopper Chic, get used to it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;" class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Your favorite &lt;strong&gt;clothing store&lt;/strong&gt; is...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Abercrombie or American Eagle, I just can't decide&lt;br /&gt;2. I like all department stores, they got a wide range&lt;br /&gt;3. Urban Outfitters&lt;br /&gt;4. H&amp;M or American Apparel&lt;br /&gt;5. You have no clue where I get my clothes because I don't shop at chains.  I only wear hand-me-downs.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once again, there is no correct answer. The closest is probably the hand-me-downs, but that is still wrong. The right answer is that you make your own clothes; at least I do, I don't know if you guys are evironmentally aware enough to do the same. And you don't just make your own clothes out of fabric made in China by some mal-nourished kid, you make them out of hemp you gathered from your friends' stashes. Please, that is so basic. Oh, and no sewing machines; that just uses electricity which is contributing to global warming and the greater downfall of mankind. If you are going to do it, do it right: by candlelight with a needle and thread.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32679493-115566846218384501?l=stephenmalkmusbeard.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stephenmalkmusbeard.blogspot.com/feeds/115566846218384501/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32679493&amp;postID=115566846218384501' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32679493/posts/default/115566846218384501'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32679493/posts/default/115566846218384501'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stephenmalkmusbeard.blogspot.com/2006/08/hipster-test-deconstructed.html' title='Hipster Test: Deconstructed'/><author><name>jeff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05771983893226617810</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://myspace-382.vo.llnwd.net/00839/28/34/839684382_m.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32679493.post-115551387176602702</id><published>2006-08-13T17:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-08-13T17:04:31.776-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The point is...</title><content type='html'>...to prove that Stephen Malkmus's beard has better taste than you.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32679493-115551387176602702?l=stephenmalkmusbeard.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://stephenmalkmusbeard.blogspot.com/feeds/115551387176602702/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=32679493&amp;postID=115551387176602702' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32679493/posts/default/115551387176602702'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/32679493/posts/default/115551387176602702'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://stephenmalkmusbeard.blogspot.com/2006/08/point-is.html' title='The point is...'/><author><name>jeff</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05771983893226617810</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://myspace-382.vo.llnwd.net/00839/28/34/839684382_m.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
