Why Do Hipsters like Triangles?
Why Do Hipsters like Triangles?
Hipsters can be seen wearing second hand clothes from thrift stores, drinking coffee in small neighborhood coffee shops and more often than not, has a camera with him at all times. They are active citizens of the Internet usually blogging about their lives and posting pictures that they took on Tumblr or some other website.
Hipsters are also often considered to have their own beliefs and ways of living. The triangle has a New Age symbolism that perfectly describes their way of life. They want to be apart from the norm that is why they tend to do things their own way, listen to non-mainstream bands and appreciate popular art.
They are often associated with the figure of a triangle as evident in the pictures that they take and the writings on their blogs. You can call it an obsession but basically it is a symbolism of what they are. When you research about hipsters and their fondness for triangles, you will be bombarded by lots of reasons from the mundane to the philosophical.
One of the reasons is that the band YACHT played a significant role in their affinity to this shape. The band leader has triangle tattoos on his arms. This band is quite popular in the Hipsters circle that is why a lot of them have come to love this shape to show their support for the band.
Other people say that the triangle is an irony of what they really are. A triangle is a tessellate shape that fits everywhere. However, this is not the case for hipsters because a lot of them are often ostracized. Many people perceive them as weirdoes with outfits that are 20 years late making them not welcome wherever they go.
Hipsters and triangles are two things that will always go together.

I believe this article would be more informative if it noted the important role of HEXAGONS in triangular geometry. Any regular hexagon can of course be subdivided into tessellate triangles, and likewise any triangular tessellation or lattice can be inverted to form its hexagonal counterpart. The width-to-height ratio of regular hexagons and equilateral triangles is identical (half the square root of 3). And so forth. It is particularly important I feel that this information be imparted to the hipster community, that they may make more informed polygonal choices in the future. Thank you.
Hahahaha @ Graham ;L
YACHT isn’t meant to be written as ‘Yacht’, because YACHT is an abbreviation, and when it is written as ‘Yacht’ the meaning is lost.
Please fix this to keep this article accurate.
From reading this I have to come to no less of a conclusion that Hipsters are retards.
This is wrong. No hipster would ever call himself a hipster so there isn’t a culture, belief or collective thing at all. Hipsters are just a bunch of trendy people with an even bigger bunch of followers (aka wannabees). There are so many different types of hipsters and the word is used as an umbrella term for quirky, fashion-conscious young people. The triangle was just a cool shape that got hip.. just like those stupid wayfarers. You could see it being used everywhere in fashion and contemporary design/illustration. A trend. Simple as that.
I’d call them fashion unconscious if I were honest.
They tend to follow what other hipsters do, if they were really unique they’d spend less time talking about it on their tumblrs and they’d just do it.
@wrong wrong: “A cool shape that just got hip” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…….HA.
I have recently got triangles tattooed, because i liked the shape, i like all geometric shapes but i thought the triangle to be the best. I have just discovered that it has HUGE connotations with hipsters?! who sound like idiots! i dont want to be known as a hipster or people to has judgement on me, i just thought it made a nice pattern on my skin…
