SCORING
0-5: Borderline. You have yet to realize that even hipsters enjoy that Kelly Clarkson single.
5-10: On the verge, although you really, truly hate the Arcade Fire.
10-15: The epitome of indie-yuppiedom - but we won’t tell anyone about your trust fund.Is it me or is this more making fun of hipsters than trying to identify an indie-yuppie ?
Also, I answered "yes" to 4 of the above questions.
Do you know which ones ?
