How to be a Hipster Trivia Quiz

Answer: He gets a ponytail

"HTTPete" was the eighteenth episode of "Family Guy" season 16 and first aired on May 6, 2018. The episode opens with a meeting in the Pawtucket Brewery where Peter works, with the sales team explaining that their sales were down particularly with millennials. First, a video is shown explaining who millennials are (defining them as "anyone who thinks loving Sriracha or Austin, Texas counts as a personality"). They decided to hire a new head of social media called Hammer, who is very clearly a parody of a hipster. He shows up wearing large glasses and headphones around his neck, and won't stop looking at his phone.

"Family Guy" also took advantage of this scene to mock music groups like The Lumineers as "six unshowered guys and a pale woman with a ukelele shouting 'hey!' in unison, because that's what music is now". Later, Hammer joins Peter in the break room and invites him to try vaping - smoking an electronic cigarette. Peter then emerges from a cloud of smoke in a white t-shirt that reads "new phone who dis?", large glasses, and a ponytail. He then says "All of a sudden I feel like I know better than anyone else!"

Answer: He texts him

Peter seems to be enjoying his new personality and friends. He attends the Coachella music festival, wears tight blue jeans, and learns how to be "on fleek", which turns out to be a flying animal that takes him to a sky filled with rainbows, avocado toast, and Toms shoes. Peter then smiles while delivering some criticism: "Our country is involved in six different wars but millenials think about this stuff!"

Later, Peter and Hammer are riding their electric scooters on the sidewalk while staring at their phones. Peter notices that Hammer is no longer having a conversation with him, but instead of looking around, Peter continues looking at his texts. He gets emoji-filled messages from Hammer saying he got hit by a bus and that he may be dead. Finally, Peter leaves his phone and goes help Hammer, the latter discussing his plans to be a "street tacos donor" should he die.

Answer: Skinny jeans

"2 Broke Girls" is a CBS sitcom that aired between 2011 and 2017. The show follows the story of Max Black and Caroline Channing, two girls from completely different social classes and backgrounds who end up working as waitresses as a diner in Brooklyn.

In the eleventh episode of season 1, titled "And the Reality Check", Max notices that Han (her boss and owner of the diner) is having trouble understanding the difference between hipsters and homeless people, two groups of people who eat at his restaurant.

The waitress then gives Han a pop quiz where she asks him a couple of quick questions to which the answer was either "hipster" or "homeless". According to their interaction in this scene, hipsters wear skinny jeans and listen to Radiohead.

Answer: South Park

"South Park", created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone in 1997, is one of the longest-running animated shows on American television. The series first aired on Comedy Central and has ignited several controversies over the years for their portrayal of public figures and social issues, as well as for the language and humor of the show that has been described by critics as vulgar and profane. "South Park" has won multiple accolades, including Emmy Awards and Peabody Awards, and released its 23rd season in 2019.

The 19th season of "South Park" takes advantage of the many topics and events that were being discussed in the U.S., such as the candidacy of Donald Trump (through the character of Mr. Garrison), Caitlyn Jenner and the car accident she was involved in, and political correctness. Episodes 3 and 4 of this season mock hipsters who claim to be helping poor communities with gentrification, with the show arguing that doing this doesn't benefit these communities. An entertainment and arts district dubbed "SodoSopa" opens near Kenny's house (known as one of the poorest characters in the show), prompting hipsters to enjoy modern-looking coffees and cocktails "while still being a part of helping the local economy". Another related group mocked in these episodes are people who post Yelp reviews in an effort to get preferential treatment from restaurants.

Answer: New York

"Law & Order" is one of the longest-running shows in American television history. It is set in New York City, as are many of its spin-offs ("SVU", "Criminal Intent", and "Trial by Jury".) The original show of the franchise ended on 2010 with its 20th season, featuring detectives Cyrus Lupo and Kevin Bernard and Lt. Anita Van Buren on the police side, and E.A.D.A. Michael Cutter, A.D.A. Connie Rubirosa, and D.A. Jack McCoy on the prosecution side. The second episode of Dick Wolf's show's last season is titled "Just a Girl in the World" and tells the story of Emma Kim, a young and extravagant journalist who is first thought to be a victim, but is later found guilty by a jury.

The episode is largely based on the infamous "Hipster Grifter" case. Kari Ferrell, who got that nickname from New York tabloids (one of the first being the New York Observer), was imprisoned in Salt Lake City, Utah, on charges ranging from forging checks to theft. She scammed dozens of men in both Salt Lake City and New York, in some cases making them believe she was pregnant.

Answer: Never pay less than $10 for coffee

"Happy Endings" is a sitcom that was canceled by ABC in 2013, after only three seasons on the air. The show, set in Chicago, follows a group of friends and their adventures. In season 1, Penny is trying to fit in with a new group of friends: hipsters. To prepare her for new friends, Max outlines a set of rules for Penny in order to be a hipster.

The first rule is "never try, never put any effort into anything" and the second one is "only like things ironically", alluding to the stereotype that hipsters can seem apathetic. Rule three is "never show too much enthusiasm" for things like dancing, which Penny struggles with because she loves dancing. Finally, rule four is "everything is dumb", further making the point that hipsters are often disinterested in mainstream topics.

Answer: Beer

The Special Broadcasting Service or SBS is an Australian public service broadcaster with several channels dedicated to movies, food, and cultural programming. In 2015, when hipsters were transforming from a trend to a permanent subculture, the channel aired a documentary that investigated the lifestyles of hipsters. According to the show's description, it attempts to understand how "gear bikes, artisanal cheese, craft beer, and long beards evolved from being niche trends to clichés and commodities".

In one of the episodes, host Samuel Johnson shows the audience the kind of beer hipsters tend to drink: craft beer like PBR (Pabst Blue Ribbon), a beer brand that had declined and came back to the market in large part thanks to its popularity among hipsters.

In "Hipsters", Johnson suggests that this desire to drink products associated with terms like "artisanal" and "hand-crafted" is rooted in displaying an appearance of sophistication.

Answer: Armadillo

"The Day the Earth Stood Cool" first aired in 2012 as part of the 24th season of "The Simpsons". In this episode, Homer, Marge, and the family welcome new people to their neighborhood: the couple of Terrence and Emily. Homer describes them as "the cool new neighbors" and is excited to befriend them. Terrence welcomes the Simpsons into their home along with his pet armadillo, who he calls Chuey and specifies he doesn't mean "'Star Wars' Chewy". Terrence is played by Fred Armisen and Emily is voiced by Carrie Brownstein.

Answer: Composting

Bart isn't interested at all in T-Rex's toys and card games, but Lisa seems to like this family's way of life. While Marge talks to Emily while figuring out that "The Onion" is not a real newspaper, Bart and Lisa go to T-Rex's room and are at first impressed by all the toys, games, and posters in the room. Bart is disappointed because a doll he had been drawn to at first sight turned out to be an older British version of a toy he liked. Lisa, however, seems more interested in the obscure card games and programs allowed in the house. While Homer tries to annoy Flanders by creating a pathway between the Simpson house and Terrence and Emily's yard, Lisa is delighted that she can finally compost while she brings her own mixture of organic matter to mix into the next-door compost.

Composts, the mixture of organic components like soil, fruit peels, and nutrients, are generally used to help plants and other crops grow, and they are sometimes associated to hipsters because of their environmental benefits.

Answer: Portland

"Portlandia" was produced by "Saturday Night Live" creator Lorne Michaels, and co-created by the show's stars Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein, as well as writer Jonathan Krisel. It won several Emmy Awards recognizing its production design crew, in addition to multiple other nominations for their cast.

The show lampoons hipster culture that has found its place in Portland, Oregon, a city that famously embraced hipsters and policies they often favor (including legalized marijuana and environmentally-friendly measures and lifestyles).

The show has many characters who are mostly played by Armisen and Brownstein, and range from the owners of a feminist bookstore to entrepreneurs and bikers' rights activists. The series ended in 2018 after its eight season.
