They’re available through an app called [Hipmoji](http://hipmoji.com/ "undefined"), created by California web development company Cookies & Milk. Even though you were _totally_ into hipster-themed emoji before they were cool, grab a PBR, turn on your record player and check these out: Notables include Pharrell’s hat (is that really still a thing though?), a blunt, a Flappy Bird, headphones, a can of PBR, a mustache, a TOMS shoe and some bubble tea. Sure, why not. Hipmoji has two main features. The first allows you to send these hip icons through text and email, like normal. The second allows you to upload photos and then insert the emoji into them. You know, so you can see what your cat looks like with a mustache and some Beats by Dre headphones. The app is [available for free](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hipmoji/id876821428?mt=8 "undefined") in the Apple Store. Here’s the problem with this, though: real hipsters don’t use iPhones. They only communicate through antique telegraph machines. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3304124/hipster-emoji/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3304124/hipster-emoji/"},"headline":"Introducing the Hipster Emoji We've All Been Waiting For","datePublished":"2014-09-08T19:22:20.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:13:02.967Z","description":"Grab a lukewarm can of PBR and check these out","url":"https://time.com/3304124/hipster-emoji/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Internet","emoji","Hipsters"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6713a126e19dafc1/6986a25cf983e7f80a04f870/zja35a5z6edbdmwygaetf53lvy830-wcei-9o0rwxwmpggemhowss5ttz2ppjrcpjg6vwsds1k6wv-ocvojcrkymjbhth1kqt_iwaha4jlye4wwxuypywiufohsjyfzyo.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6713a126e19dafc1/6986a25cf983e7f80a04f870/zja35a5z6edbdmwygaetf53lvy830-wcei-9o0rwxwmpggemhowss5ttz2ppjrcpjg6vwsds1k6wv-ocvojcrkymjbhth1kqt_iwaha4jlye4wwxuypywiufohsjyfzyo.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"zja35a5z6eDBdmwYGAeTf53lvy830-WCeI-9O0rwXwM,PggeMhowsS5TtZ2ppjRCpJg6VWsdS1k6wv-OCVOJcrk,YmJBHtH1Kqt_IwaHa4jlyE4WWXUyPyWIUFoHsjyFzyo","caption":"","creditText":"Hipmoji","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3304124/hipster-emoji/","name":"Introducing the Hipster Emoji We've All Been Waiting For"}}]}] ```
