He's been accused of it before so I decided to open it up to the blogosphere. Arguments for:
1. Facial Hair. He's been known to grow the goat and now he has a full-on, Fleet Fox-esque beard.
2. His favorite bands. All indy and all darlings of Public Radio. Think Vampire Weekend, Santogold, The Decemberists, She and Him, etc.
3. His residence: Brooklyn, NY
4. His occupation: Graphic Designer, designing book covers. Hello!
5. Family: he has one and only one adorable baby and a beautiful (thank you) wife.
6. His attire: form-fitting sweater over button up shirt or Threadless t-shirt with expensive jeans and dress shoes, all pulled together with an iPod Shuffle and argyle scarf.
Arguments Against:
1. He's kind of a goof. See above picture. Not too worried about looking cool.
2. He's Mormon. But the entirety of the Park Slope Ward negates that argument. However, that does nix expensive coffee and cigarettes.
3. His diet: no preference whatsoever for organic/vegetarian/vegan food, though he has read Fast Food Nation and occasionally preaches about buying local.
4. His humble background. Trailor park in Mallory, NY. Yeah, try finding that one on the map.
5. His thrifty ways. Though he loves sushi and Thai like any good hipster, he'd just as soon save the money and eat soup and cheesies at home.
Make your voice heard. Comment.

I go for moderate hipster. You should read "Stuff White People Like." It's like the hipster encyclopedia.
Sounds like a hipster to me. Sam says in NYC the "young folks" wear chunky neckties. He was going crazy seeing the chunky neckties.
I have no idea. I figured I could link to your blog too, if that's ok! You're welcom on our blog, though we have no guarantee's on it's entertainment value... mostly for grandparents. We're in Fort Collins, CO, and we really love it there. IT's great to be able to catchup!
Define:Hipster
Hip? In my book,yes. A hipster...not sure. Overall perspective--balanced.
?
Chunky ties? That's Adam!
ah but he doesn't own any vinyl and lives in sunset park.
So did Nandan and he was definitely a hipster
By the description, it looks like he may be on his way to morphing into a variation of one. (Of course minus the somewhat bohemian lifestyle with the perpetual ciggie hanging off the side of his mouth that is attributed to most hipsters.) Adam is really just "keeping it cool."
