Yesterday was national kissing day, and I was talking about how it would have been a good excuse for a kiss meme, and how it seemed those kind of themed memes seemed to have died out a little

(note: general scene AU, no one's in a band)
Rule 1 of being a hipster: you do not acknowledge that you're a hipster.
There's an extraordinarily attractive, extraordinarily bored-looking guy leaning against the bar when Gabe heads back there for a drink between sets. Gabe nods to him, because he tries to make a habit of befriending anyone cute who likes the same music he does. The guy motionlessly observes him from the corner of his eye as Gabe talks to the bartender, then, after an approving glance at the PBR Gabe ordered, he nods back.
"Decent show so far," says Gabe. "Better than their last one. They've fixed the reverb problem, at least."
The guy shrugs. "Place is overrun with hipsters, though."
Gabe grins. "What gave me away, the trucker hat?"
The guy raises one eyebrow at him briefly and then looks the other way, effectively ending the conversation.
Rule 2 of being a hipster: you DO NOT acknowledge that you're a hipster.The next time Gabe sees the guy, they're both at a party at Pete's house. Gabe spots him from across

Rule 4 of being a hipster: only two hipsters to a square yard of floor space at concerts. If the concentration of hipsters exceeds this limit, the band has become too mainstream to follow.
Mikey is making out with the Person Who Is Wrong. Gabe is displeased.
He's not jealous, of course. There's no point in getting territorial over people like Mikeyway. That would be like getting annoyed because you're not the only person who gets to look at the Mona Lisa. If Gabe gets a chance at all, he'll be grateful as fuck, not bitching about how many other people have lined up across the Louvre. He's not jealous, he's just irritated that he hasn't gotten a chance, while Mikey is over there sucking face with this kid who likes to use crayons of colored bullshit to metaphorically scribble pictures of penises all over every metaphorical art exhibit he comes across

Rule 6 of being a hipster: no scarf, no glasses, no cred.
The second band is shitty enough to ignore, especially since it's looking highly likely that Gabe might be getting an up-close viewing of La Gioconda tonight. He and Mikey have migrated to the opposite end of the bar from the bartender, where there's space to lean without being crowded.
"They are not," says Mikey, in a more interested monotone than his usual one. "I need them to see."
"Not your glasses, specifically," clarifies Gabe. "I'm not calling you a hipster." He has sure as fuck learned his lesson on that one, even if Mikey is wearing skinny jeans and a threadbare thrift-store t-shirt with a probably-ironic unicorn on the front. "I'm just saying, people wearing glasses show up at indie concerts in way greater numbers than the actual incidence of visual impairment in the general population. They can't all actually need them

This was hilarious. I love how they're so into being scene and Mikey is scener than scene and Gabe has to learn it. All the unspoken cues were perfect.

Oh yeah, you can't do that. Also, no hand gestures during conversations except the middle finger, sharing your drugs is the hipster equivalent of a blood bond, if you spot an accessory in a store window that you own you should burn yours immediately, and staying in a hookup's bed until morning is a social faux pas on par with puking at the table. Take notes.

Also, so much love for the addition of the Mikey/Ryan making out, even if it didn't work out.
