While votes on hispterorhomeless.com are never truly validated (unless you count tallying up the votes of other viewers), you can safely assume that 99.9 percent of your assessments are correct. Why? Because while hipsters may carry a haggard appearance similarl to that of their hobo counterparts, we don’t know a single homeless person with ombre-dyed hair, an OBEY T-shirt, or an Instagram account.
