This photo of a hipster trap is allegedly from New York City. Contents: brightly-colored bike chain, American Spirit cigarettes, can of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, and plastic glasses. It just needs a Moleskine notebook to lure in more hesitant prey.

I totally don't see the humor.
What did "hipsters" do wrong to deserve their limbs being mauled in a bear trap? WTF? (I'm quoting hipsters because that's what the article says, I would have been dumbfounded for the meaning of this if not for the article.)
And why do we have to (try to) put a label on every single person for the seemingly single purpose to then be able to more easily ostracize, laugh at, humiliate, physically hurt or kill them?
I mean tell me: how is this different from saying: oh look: that person is wearing a pink T-shirt; he must be gay. Let's get a shotgun and shoot his leg off, you know, just for fun! Haha!
Every definition of Hipster I hear is different from everybody else's, and it almost always partially describes the person giving the definition.
As near as I can tell, Hipster is a convenient catchall term to ridicule people with different tastes than you. Like Fanboy. You use it to make people feel ashamed of what they like.
And just as the anti-Fanboys have ridiculed the Fanboys into silence and taken their place as the intolerable douchebags of the internet, so have the anti-Hipsters become the insufferable twats they seek to shame.
So to sum up: Hipster is a word that Hipsters use to differentiate themselves from slightly different Hipsters.
I for one would like to see more counter cultural and stereotype traps. It Geek trap, yuppie trap, hillbilly trap, Jersey Shore/clubber trap.
I for one thought this was hilarious.
For even more Hipster lulz, check out:
The Hipster Olympics, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAO4EVMlpwM
And for those of you whining about people trying to classify groups, Welcome to Earth, alien creatures;
--you may now resume laughing at all the Guido jokes whenever 'The Jersey Shore' comes up in discussion, or the Redneck jokes when you have to fly from New York to LA, and the, etc. ...
most people who hate on hipsters for drinking and smoking don't realize that drinking and smoking are undeniably awesome
Instead of "here's your sign" -- "here's your trap"
Smoking and drinking are traps... both addictive.
As is vanity and the need to be cool...
If you get sucked into any of that-- you're snagged by the trap.
Where people are making the hate leap, I'm not sure-- unless its deep in your head -- which interestingly, (perhaps intentionally?) was exposed via the trap's set up.
Pretty freakin' psychologically clever ~
Plus, is you add the Moleskine you might be catching more Emos than Hipsters!!
