Ten Reasons Being A Hipster Is Actually A Smart Move

Because they knew how to be budget savvy before you knew what budget savvy was...

10. They live on coffee and cigarettes.

Half of America already does this. You're already one step closer! Moving on...

9. They don't feel like swapping out their winter and summer clothes each season, so they just wear all of them, all at the same time.

Those leggings with those jean shorts? Deck.

8. Riding your bike and eating organic? Isn't that just diet and exercise?

7. Indie Films are just better. Period.

I'll take "Being John Malkovich" over another Matthew McConaughy/ Sarah Jessica Parker movie any day.

6. Scarves.

They hide everything; they match anything; they work for all seasons, and if you have an unnecessarily cold neck-region, they're a Godsend.

5. Menial jobs give you way more time to get other things done...

like troll Pitchfork for new music that no one else has heard of.

4. You generally don't have to shower.

And that's just good for the environment.

3. Bigger glasses just mean a larger field of vision.

Your peripheral will thank you.

2. Thrift shopping is now acceptable.

And I'm totes broke, so that's just awesome.

1. Too broke for the bar and too old to deal with hangovers?
