With the opening of an all-day cereal cafe in Canterbury, it's official: Kent has reached peak hipster.

A hipster is defined as "a person who follows the latest trends and fashions, especially those regarded as being outside the cultural mainstream".

Confused? Us, too. Here's 10 ways to tell if you're a hipster:

1. You eat at places where your food arrives on anything but a plate

Be it a piece of slate, a chopping board, or any other impractical but "inventive" platter, the hipster regards the humble plate as passe. And chips come in a tiny metal bucket or miniature chip fryer.

2. You have a ridiculously convoluted, non-descript job title that no one can understand

Q: What do you do? A: Me? Oh, I'm a Digital Evolvement and Engagement Strategist.

3. Your preferred glass is a mason jar

And your favourite tipple is craft beer. The more obscure the brewery, the better.

4. You eat things with "artisan" in the title

Kale and avocado also feature prominently in your diet. And you Instagram every meal #eatclean. You may also have an arbitrary, non-medical dietary requirement, which you're sure to drone on about at every opportunity.

5. You've taken up cycling

On a vintage bike, of course.

6. Your wardrobe is ironic

You wear skinny jeans with the bottoms rolled up, and boat shoes or brogues. Absolutely no socks. You pair this with an oversized checked shirt and hunting cap or beanie/bobble hat (whatever the weather). You aim to look different - just like everyone else.

7. You have a beard

The bigger, the better. You condition your facial fuzz with a specialist beard oil, or style it using wax. You may also straighten it. Your girlfriend hates it.

8. You wear thick-rimmed glasses

But do not have a prescription. Often, the lens will be clear plastic, or non-existent.

9. You favour old technology

You eschew the latest gadgets, instead preferring to use old type-writers and record players unearthed from your parents' loft.

10. You don't think you're hipster

If you don't identify with any of the things listed above, congratulations - you're probably a hipster.
