“How did the hipster drown?”/“He went ice skating before it was cool.”

A hipster riddle has been printed on several images:
 
Q: How did the hipster drown?
A: He went ice skating before it (the lake—ed.) was cool.
 
The riddle is funny only if the listener knows that it combines two other hipster riddles:
 
1. “How do you drown a hipster?”/“In the mainstream.”
2. “How did the hipster burn his tongue?”/“He drank his coffee before it was cool.”

Have you heard the latest hipster joke? Wait, I have it on vinyl somewhere. Ah here it is: how’d the hipster drown? He went ice-skating before it was cool. But seriously, how do you drown a hipster? Easy - you throw her in the mainstream.
