Myspace, Friendster, and
Facebook and the Hipsters in Space.
Features Examples of
- Catch Phrase: "LAME!" and "RAD!" for the hipsters.
- Fan Hater: Invoked with The Hipsters
- Hartman Hips: Most of the women fulfill this trope, if they aren't Impossible Hourglass Figure, or Rosie O'Donnell and Paris Hilton.

- Hipster Bot also counts...when he's out of drugs, that is.

- Rich Idiot with No Day Job
- Strawman Political: Most of the politicians.
- Take That: Way too many to list.
- What the Hell, Hero?: The fashion episode of Hipsters in Space has Hipster Bot call out the other hipsters on their choices of "rad" fashion which are a homeless man, a prisoner in a totalitarian country, and a starving child. The last one sends him into a rant about how not everyone has the privileged life the hipsters lead, culminating in this gem...
Captain Art School: Hipster Bot, did you run out of cocaine again?
Hipster Bot: Yeeeeees!
Captain Art School: East Village Boy, take us to the Monica's Apartment nebulon.
