Quiz: how hipster are you?

Every now and again, you’ll spot the odd hipster strutting their funky stuff down the street.  They’re in your town, in your favourite clubs…and even at LINCOLN UNIVERSITY. Perhaps you’re a hipster yourself. Take The Tab‘s quiz to see how edgy a student you are.

Do you DJ? You, sir, are very edgy

1. On a night out in Lincoln, where are you most likely to go?

a) A ‘not-so-secret’ warehouse party, because you’re just too cool to go to a club
b) End up in Cubes…enough said
c) Lola Lo’s and Home, rounding the night off with a cheeky kebab.

2. You’re having a conversation with some friends. Suddenly, the conversation ends and it goes deadly quiet. What do you do?

a) Complain about something over-hyped these days
b) Stay silent

“Drugs are totally not overrated.”

Smoking rollies is pretty edgy too

b) Praise the quiz if you liked it, or ignore commenting if you didn’t

RESULTS

Mostly As: Oh, dear. Looks like you’re the spitting image of a hipster university student; your edginess and rejection of things that are mainstream will certainly ruffle more than a few feathers these days. Remember: just because it’s popular doesn’t mean it’s always bad! Your fellow hipsters are James Joyce, Florence Nightingale, Leonardo Da Vinci, and the guy who invented Coca-Cola.

Mostly Bs: Consider yourself slightly different from your fellow students. Is this a bad thing? No, of course not! You may find yourself writing a hilarious script in your spare time that takes the piss out of politicians and discover it’s been published, or end up writing successful sitcoms in due time. Well done. Your fellow black sheep are Ricky Gervais, Patrick Stewart, Vic Reeves and Charles Darwin.

Mostly Cs: Mainstream is your middle name; you’re difficult to spot because you’re always riding with the crowd! Drinking, partying, and doing well in university are all things you do best. Famous mainstream people who followed the crowd included Rudyard Kipling, Lady Gaga, Robert Downey Jr. and the cast of The Inbetweeners.
