A Field Guide to the Urban Hipster

Description

Welcome to the definitive taxonomy of the urban tribe. In A Field Guide to the Urban Hipster, Josh Aiello maps the tribe with the precision of a botanist and the wit of a stand-up comic. You'll learn to identify the essential uniform—the fixed-gear bicycle, the vintage typewriter no one can actually type on, and the artisanal coffee shop where the only acceptable bean is roasted by someone who knows the name of the farmer's dog.\n\nFrom the artisanal bread enthusiast to the relentlessly sincere indie-film critic, Aiello captures the absurdity of the lifestyle with affection rather than malice. It's a comedy of manners for the modern age, perfect for anyone who has ever been asked to explain what 'authentic' means or who has ever found themselves in the wrong neighborhood with a typewriter. Get your copy and join the tribe — or at least laugh at it from a safe distance.
