Mutually exclusive exclusive realms. Until now. The hipsterscience hashtag on twitter is trending with abundant hipster science wankery. Two great tastes that taste blucky together for you! You disdainful hipster scientist you.
A compilation of exclusivity here.
In other news, I did do my qualifying exam with an overhead projector, and can still be caught mouthpippeting with some frequency. Oh dear, by keeping it oldskool, have I become a hipster scientist?

When something is trending on Twitter, by the time I look at it, the news that it's trending is trending.

I used to like that hashtag before it SOLD Oh forget it.
There's a bunch of fish, a barrel and some dynamite here, sure, but it's all too easy, too messy, and doesn't make us any better for trying it.

I thought genomics overused the word "random" before it was cool.

Sometimes the Internet is like pioneer culture - you stop hearing from the Donner Party for awhile and then they text you and you look at their Facebook profile and you're like, "HOLY SHIT, YOU EAT PEOPLE NOW?"

Ugh, this is so six months ago. Nowadays you've really got to make an image macro for people to care. I'd recommend Hipster Ariel in a labcoat or something.

And by making fun of it, you've all decisively distanced yourselves from it. Just make sure everyone else saw that and next time you wear a fake mustache to a theme party no one will possibly suspect...

Some of my favourites from my grad student friends:
"I study ferromagnetism because it's ironic #hipsterscience"
Do I have any absolute ethanol? No, just PBR. #hipsterscience
I only use Polaroid detectors. CCDs are too mainstream #hipsterscience

That galaxy expired 4 billion years ago, and you're only seeing it now? It figures.

Yeah, when they switched everything to be all AJAX-Y it got really weird. There's a right way to use AJAX (Mefi load new comments) and a wrong way (new twitter).

yeah, i saw it. :| the first one was cute.
but, really, for hashtag humor (which is pretty much played out anyway), the hashtag itself has to be part of the funny. there is nothing inherently funny (imo) about "hipster science."
Show me some funny with #iloveyoujohnnycakes, not fish-in-a-barrel #hipster ____. justmy2c.
