The Hipster Paradox

1. Everything a hipster does is automatically cool.
2. Being cool is mainstream.
3. Hipsters are not mainstream.
4. Hipsters become not cool.
5. Therefore, not being cool is cool.

Discuss paradoxes.

Re: The Hipster Paradox

1 is wrong, 2 is wrong, 3 is wrong, 4 is right because that's what they do, 5 is not right with most of these statements being wrong

Re: The Hipster Paradox

A woman sees a sign in a barber's shop.  The sign says, "I shave every man who doesn't shave himself!"
The paradox: If the barber shaves every man who doesn't shave himself, who shaves the barber?

Re: The Hipster Paradox

What happens when hipsters become mainstream? simple. Since hipsters will be mainstream, then not being a hipster is non-mainstream. Thus, hipsters and mainstreamers switch places. This is the circle of life.

Re: The Hipster Paradox

What about the fact that hipsters will always deny that they are hipsters? Are you a hipster? No? Then you just might be....

If you guessed the answer to this question correctly, how likely are you to get it correct?

a) 50%
b) 25%
c) 0%
d) 25%

And if you think you've got it, you're wrong.
