Middle Finger Man
I only had one conversation with the guy below.
He interrupted a conversation I was having to compliment me on a sweater. I responded, "Oh, this old thing? I've had it for years, but thank you!" He proceeded to ask how I could think the sweater was ugly and then began insulting my garnet colored pants. The pants are just pants. They fit nice, they're solid color with a slightly flaired leg. Nothing weird.
To get away from this guy, I gave him my business card. Bad mistake. He sent the email below, captioned "Are you a hipster?" When I first received it, I was like, oh shoot, the spammers are after my work email. How's that so? I've only been here a few months! I had to read it twice before I realized it wasn't spam.

Or a fly girl? Or maybe a riot grrl?
I'm still trying to understand how you could think that perfectly lovely sweater you were wearing is ugly. Or how you could think it was at all acceptable (as opposed to being a giant middle finger to everyone in the room) to wear those pants in public. All I can come up with is that you are a member of some subculture that I just am not familiar with.
Are you a post-prep urban neo-traditionalist? That would explain the sweater. The pants are still a mystery.
