Can M1 be a hipster?

Hipster:
Listens to bands that you have never heard of. Has hairstyle that can only be described as "complicated." (Most likely achieved by a minimum of one week not washing it.) Probably tattooed. Maybe gay. Definitely cooler than you. Reads Black Book, Nylon, and the Styles section of the New York Times. Drinks Pabst Blue Ribbon. Often. Complains. Always denies being a hipster. Hates the word. Probably living off parents money - and spends a great deal of it to look like they don't have any. Has friends and/or self cut hair. Dyes it frequently (black, white-blonde, etc. and until scalp bleeds). Has a closet full of clothing but usually wears same three things OVER AND OVER (most likely very tight black pants, scarf, and ironic tee-shirt). Chips off nail polish artfully after $50 manicure. Sleeps with everyone and talks about it at great volume in crowded coffee shops. Addicted to coffee, cigarettes (Parliaments, Kamel Reds, Lucky Strikes, etc.), and possibly cocaine. Claims to be in a band. Rehearsals consist of choosing outfits for next show and drinking PBR. Always on the list. Majors or majored in art, writing, or queer studies. Name-drops. May go by "Penny Lane," "Eleanor Rigby," etc. when drunk. On PBR. Which is usually.

M1:
Listens to only songs that are on the radio. Has hairstyle that can only be described as "posh spice." (Most likely achieved by a minimum of one hour not washing it.) Wants to but will never be tattooed. Maybe gay. Definitely thinks she's cooler than you. Reads Perez Hilton, W Magazine when Angelina Jolie is on the cover, and no section of the New York Times. Drinks Spritzers. Rarely. Complains always. Doesn't know what a hipster is. Loves the word and will immediately start using it in the wrong context and put it in an acronym. Definitely living off parents money - and spends a great deal of it to make sure it looks like she has a lot. Goes to Cafe Asia weekly to cut, color, and blow out hair. Dyes it frequently (white-blonde until scalp bleeds, then freaks out and buys 14 products to fix it). Has a closet full of clothing and never wears the same thing (most likely LBDs, designer jeans, Tory Burch shoes that are over $200, and Team Olson apparel). Gets a weekly $50 manicure. Talks about everything at great volume everywhere all the time. Addicted to coffee-flavored sugar milk, Iced tea DUDE, likes to talk about how she used to smoke cigarettes and brags she will never do cocaine. Wants to start a band. Rehearsals would consist of choosing outfits for next show and drinking wine. Always wants to be on every list. Majored in maxxing out. Name-drops. May go by "Lolita," "Abby," "Kirsten," etc. when drunk. On one vodka sprite (but will claim it was two). Which is rarely.
