You might ride around on an electric scooter in your shades and flannel shirt while sporting copious amounts of sculpted facial hair, but are you a hipster?
In certain neighborhoods of New York City or San Francisco, it may be a foregone conclusion. It’s practically mandatory. But others might wonder if they qualify.
Thankfully, a special list of “hipster words” has surfaced. And it comes from Apple, of all places.
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey this week warned that Twitter will “probably never” let you edit your tweets.

Apple CEO Tim Cook set Twitter ablaze with speculation today — and all it took was a simple smiley face emoji.
Cook sent out a tweet with just a smiley face emoji this morning. No other context was provided, and the tweet got deleted shortly later, leading Apple fans on Twitter to wonder what the most powerful man in tech was really trying to say.
These are the most popular theories:
Twitter’s clampdown on social media abuse has begun with a new policy that restricts abusive tweeters.
Those who violate the rules will have their tweets hidden from those who don’t follow them — but the restriction won’t last long.
Queen Elizabeth II doesn’t tweet a whole lot, but when she does, it’s from an iPad. Her majesty used the device to thank the public for the “digital messages of goodwill” that were received for her 90th birthday.
