60-100 points:

You are not a hipster!  In fact, you probably don’t have any idea what we were even getting at in the above questions.  Either that, or you’re so anti hipster that you shy away from anything remotely hip.

Either way, you are all good sunshine.

100-140 points:

You are very hip, but not quite a hipster.

This is a really good place to be.  You pick and choose which elements of hipsterdom suit you without surrendering entirely to the world of hipness.

Kudos.

140-180 points:

Hey!  You’re a hipster!  A complete and total hipster.

How do you feel?

Don’t worry too much, being a hipster is only a bad thing if you let it be.  But then you probably knew that ages ago.
