As the age of technology continues to consume every aspect of our lives, we have come long way in terms of texting, typing, and anything that doesn’t involve an actual pen and paper. Spell check has taken the population of Ppl wHo TxT lik tHis, and turned them into the equivalent of sixth grade C-students, quite the accomplishment. A few years ago, you would never find a hipster sending out emails or statuses with all that riffraff. No–you would find immaculately worded, proper-ass sentences with zero errors, and if for some reason they did slip in a “your” instead of “you’re” they’d be quick to send you a “*you’re” reply faster than Machine Gun Kelly on crack.
Now times have changed, as the masses are becoming more coherent, the hipsters have no choice but to rebel; long live the counter culture, man. Now, instead of sounding like pompous pseudo-intellectuals, the hipsters have moved on to regress back into the days of old, with a new spin.
For your consideration, we have included a few translation of some popular hipster words and terminology:
azn | Asian | “sumtimes i just wish i was a kewt azn”
bbg | baby girl | “i luv yr seafoam green hurr bbg, u look lik GRiMES, i wanna take soooo many pixx”

guitarsies | guitars
