stuff hipsters hateHipsters. You know the kind. Here in Brooklyn, they're overtaking certain neighborhoods, pushing out the indigenous peoples and single-handedly causing a serious spike in the sales of Keffiyeh scarves city-wide. We're sure you have your own unique species in your neighborhood, too. And whether you love 'em or you hate 'em (or you're one of 'em), you better believe they're a subculture of people here to stay.

But don't worry -- it's not like us mainstream folk are abnormal or uncool. It's just standard behavior for hipsters to possess a condescending attitude toward those outside their bubble. Or those not wearing Wayfarers.

With only a short month remaining of summer's blistering heat and boozy barbecues, we wanted to get the lowdown on the season's most popular trends from Lady Hipster Land. We invited Andrea and Brenna, founders of the hilarious blog Stuff Hipsters Hate to join me for a chat in the Lemondrop radio room. The ladies brought their digital Hipster Field Guide to life and explained the fuss over Native American prints, high-waisted shorts, denim jorts and ankle booties. And, most importantly, they explained how you -- yes, YOU -- can successfully incorporate hipster influences into your own wardrobe, even if MGMT and PBR are two acronyms you confuse with service organizations. (Hint: You listen to one and drink the other, usually at the same time.) They also shared another pro-tip, this one useful for hipsters and civilians alike: Keds are the secret to successfully escaping a one-night stand undetected. To learn why, watch the vid.
