Cadillac is targeting the hipster market? How will hipster millennials be able to afford a Cadillac after buying so many lattes and craft beers?
Umm...

I know you're being sarcastic and all, but a lot of the so-called "hipsters" in San Francisco are techies. And guaranteed, they make at minimum $120-150,000 with stock options upwards of $300-500K.

They can afford it.

Obviously they have disposable incomes if they waste money on gourmet coffee and such.

No sure what you mean by "gourmet" coffee either.

$18-22 for a 12 oz bag of Blue Bottle Coffee beans isn't what i'd consider "gourmet." Kona Coffee is $18-25 for 6-8 oz, depending on brand. That's far higher priced.

Do you consider "gourmet" as part of price or the style/type of brew and/or bean? Or just simply paying more than $1.50 for a cup?

All of the other hipsters are working at a coffee shop or used clothing store and certainly can't afford a Cadillac. Or any car. And don't want one. So yeah, there's a subset of that market to target, but lets not get carried away with targeting an audience that specific.

LOL... Dude...

That's not a hipster. Not even close.

A hipster is Portland-style, not SF-style, someone who embraces a downmarket but very particular kind of scruffy look, drinks PBR (and craft beer), has a beard, acts like it's the 1800s, and spends a lot on vinyl. They're more likely to drive a Saab 900, Volvo 240, or whatever ironic throwback alternative vehicle it is they stumbled across on Craigslist.

It's an absurd, endlessly evolving subculture. In high school these guys were likely goth, alternative, emo, or just nerds.



It is not someone well-off living in San Francisco, and a "real hipster" would never be caught driving a Cadillac or Lexus. When hipsters grow up, they buy new Subarus.


I hate that I'm able to explain this so thoroughly. I am filled with self-loathing over this post.

And butter.

If Jesda is now Mr. Butter, are you trying to become our coffee guy?
That's Mr. Buttersworth...

I actually hate coffee. I've had coffee four times in my life. One time was little more than a sip, two were alcoholic, and the third was actually pretty delicious, but it was like a $10 shot of coffee at a Cuban place... and after I had a few mojitos.

Three of those times were in the last two months. The first was about... 8 years ago.

Tea4lyfe.

Did'java good time coming up with that one?

Careful kiddo, I can go all night long...
Me too. Better pray you sleep on your butt tonight, Paul.

You wouldn't be a true hipster if you weren't filled with self-loathing.

I had coffee made from beans crapped out by a Civit cat in Indonesia this summer. I think they call it Lowak coffee. Apparently people pay a fortune for it. It tasted like coffee.
Kill yourself for your unrefined palette. You will never know the joys of 1,000 year old quail egg.

That said, 99¢ microwave pizzas are one of my favorite foods ever. Also... store brand/generic frosted mini wheats taste exactly like the legit real ones.

But Lipton tea's mom should have thrown herself down literally every set of stairs ever.
