... Um..no...no not really.
You may be a fan of the Dead...granted, but " Deadheads" were ( more or less) the " tittle" bestowed upon those who traveled around from place to place sort of " following" the band as they toured...
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
No secret that many ladies prefer guys a little "metro". The average guy is a slobbering mess, so yeah a fancy boy with a scarf probably seems like a nice alternative.
I get it: i wore some pretty silly/awful stuff in high school/college for the same reason, but it doesnt make any of it any less silly...
I honestly don't understand what guys have against scarves, it adds a certain bit of sophistication when worn correctly. Obama wears a scarf and he looks aces when he does. And if the worlds most badass head of state, no not Obama, but this guy:
does it, then there is noting 'metro' about it.

I have nothing against scarves worn when it's cold, but when you see people walking around with them in the middle of July... just... WHY?!
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

Seeing as how through all this I've not really understood what a hipster is, I've decided this video will be my guideline.
And from it they seem decent chaps, patriotic and what not.

Scarves can be badass, if it's appropriately muted and of a sufficiently and manly enough grade of coarse wool. And of course, being below freezing outside helps.
If you're wearing a lavender silk scarf in August, and you're a guy, then you're doing it wrong and deserve to be mocked.

They may have been traumatised and so scarfed for life.

And the tight jeans, no man looks right in them.
I think skinny guys looks better in tight jeans, baggy jeans makes there legss look fat. Can you imagine Elvis Costello wearing "Bags".
So what would a hipster wargamer be like? Do they only play Second Edition WHFB with Wargames Foundry miniatures? "Malifaux was so much better before it got all mainstream."
