How many hipsters does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

When I was making my last post, I was googling for an image to match it (I am not sure what images I expected to find with "Hipster" and "lightbulb"). Instead I found a blog with 10 more answers to the same joke. Some are pretty good.

Q: How many hipsters does it take to screw in a light bulb?

1. It is a really obscure number and you have probably never heard of it. (or, some obscure number you've never heard of.)

2. Who cares? The light bulb was better before it changed.

3. At least 5 to scrape enough change together to buy the light bulb in the first place.

4. However many Pitchfork says it takes to change a light bulb

5. Who cares? it'll just be another tired rehashing of the way Lou Reed changes light bulbs.

6. Only 3 when they did it at the black cat, but this time through town it took 9 for some reason.

7. Nobody changes lightbulbs since they signed with that major label.

8. Two. One to change it in an ironic fashion and one to get it.

9. Who can tell through these fake hornrims and manicured scruff?

10. *sigh* I have this joke on vinyl.

and the original answer:

11. (Snotily) You mean you don't knooooow?

The original answer is the only one that made me laugh.

Here's a gem from CatandGirl.com:

A hipster walks into a bar, and he says, "This bar sucks - it's filled with hipsters."

I was reading this really funny blog, Stuff Hipsters Dont Like, and the #1 post was "Hipsters", quite funny and had a similar quote.

I just read this post again and now answers 1, 2, 5, 6, and 9 made me laugh.
