#Curios: Hipster vs. Hipster

A man threatened to sue a magazine for using his picture in an article about hipsters looking alike, only to learn the photo was of someone else who closely resembled him.

“In other words, the guy who’d threatened to sue us for misusing his image wasn’t the one in the photo. He’d misidentified himself. All of which just proves the story we ran: hipsters look so much alike that they can’t even tell themselves apart from each other.”

The [MIT Technology Review]'s article was about research into the ”hipster effect” by Jonathan Touboul, a mathematics and neuroscience professor at Brandeis University in Massachusetts.
