    To answer the original question - Why do hipsters like pinball?

    Taking a wild guess at it, and using the urban dictionary definition as a guide I'd say they like it because it's everything that the console gaming of XBox 360 & PS3 isn't. Having said that I'm
    relatively sure there's plenty of hipsters that love playing XBox & PS3.

    I'm hoping that being 47 takes me out of the age range for being a hipster. According to the Urban Dictionary the age range is 20's-30's.

    I do have an IPhone, but I seriously think that doesn't automatically qualify a person as being a hipster.

    If liking pinball and having an IPhone makes me a hipster, then F**K it, I'm a hipster.

    There's a movie with Peter Weller (robocop) from the 80's called First Born, with Teri Garr, Corey Haim and another kid.

    There's a scene where they're eating in a restaurant and he say's to the older kid, "what's hip?"
    And the kid, named Jake say's "Hip isn't Hip anymore".

    Funny after all these years I still remember this quote.

    Quoted from Chudmeat:

    Which is worse: hipster or emo?

    Emo for sure. Emo-Goth, combined they make a deadly depressing force to be avoided at all costs.

    Quoted from TheLaw:

    The Term has been around since the 50s i believe...I think it may be a Jack karowack thing but I'm not a reader. It's been molded into whatever people want to use it for now.

    Not true, you're probably just really old

    Christopher Collet....that kid had at all. Rockin' parties with booze, coke, and pinballs!

    Man, you just reminded me that there was a pinball machine in First Born. In the movie it belonged to the boyfriend (peter weller) who had moved in with the mom (terri garr) and he offers to let Jake play it anytime he wants to and the kid cops an attitude and says "no thanks".
