Poykpac’s Hipster Olympics is “a battle of apathetic grandeur,” and a tribute to Monty Python’s ‘The Upperclass Twit of the Year.’ To participate one would need to be hungover, be wearing really tight pants, and give off an air of superiority and indifference and also have no desire to participate.
Participants in the Hipster Olympics must compete in the following events: overcoming a hangover, checking their parent’s cheque has cleared, picking an ironic t-shirt, taking a myspace profile picture, a record toss and passing judgment on random strangers.
