Could this guy be the one true hipster to rule them all? Could be. Let's take inventory.

Micro-managed facial hair? Check. Vintage coat? Check. Stack of vinyls? Check. Legs crossed, European style? Check.

Portable vinyl player, with headphones? Bonus points. Hipster babe companion in retro dress? More bonus points. Sitting outside at a bar, during what may well be normal working hours? The deal-sealer.

The photo, uploaded to the image sharing site imgur, has been viewed there more than 617,000 times in 11 hours. That may just make it the most viral hipster photo of all time, pending further research and confirmation.

The hat-tip here goes to Twitter user @burnSTYLEr, who hat-tips @MarcusAHall, who hat-tips @ramit…clearly, this thing has been making its way around the Interwebs.

But who saw it first, before it was trendy? Could it possibly be … the second hipsterist hipster in hipster history?
